Linaras, Talbot Win Big on the River
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sokratis Linaras and Vladas Tamasauskas had already built up a massive pot of around 300,000 as they went to the river on a board of K♦Q♠9♠10♥5♥. Linaras then moved all in for 196,000 in the cutoff.
Tamasauskas called under the gun and Linaras showed A♠J♠ for the nut straight. Tamasauskas sent KxJx into the muck for a lower straight as he handed over the double up.
At the same time on an adjacent table, Parker Talbot was sliding forward a bet of 85,000 on a board of 2♣10♠9♣10♣8♥ against Claudio Di Giacomo. Di Giacomo called, then mucked when Talbot showed J♥10♥ for trip tens.
