Talbot Makes His Case

David Salituro

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

With the clock winding down on Level 36, Parker Talbot approached the floor and asked if play could stop at the end of this level instead of waiting until 4 a.m. The tournament official told Talbot they had to keep playing.

"We're playing for €544,000 and we've been playing poker for 14 f**king hours," Talbot said. The official eventually relented and told the players they will discuss the matter after this level.

"I'm probably going to bust in the next three minutes because I made this complaint," Talbot added.

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

On the first hand back from break, Parker Talbot raised to 1,500,000 under the gun and Omar Del Pino three-bet to 3,800,000 on the button. Talbot then moved all in and Del Pino snap-called.

Parker Talbot: A♣Q♠
Omar Del Pino: 10♣10♥

Both competing rails began calling for cards as the dealer turned over the 3♠3♣Q♦ flop that gave Talbot two pair. The board ran out 6♥2♦.

"Let's go. Eleven-five," Talbot yelled out as he slammed the table and splashed his entire 11,500,000 into the middle. "Put me to f**king bed man," he added.

"A flip at a final table? Imagine that. Losing a flip to me at a final table."
