Talboom Survives
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
After losing all but a single chip in a previous hand, Tom Talboom had folded a few hands in a row on the bubble to try to make it through. He was under the gun when he threw in his last 25,000. The button iso-shoved and players waited for the floor as the crowds gathered.
"Everyone wants you to win," joked a tablemate to Talboom.
Tom Talboom: A♥10♠
Button: K♦Q♣
The board ran out A♣3♦8♠K♥8♦ and Talboom made the higher two pair with aces and eights to win the pot. He then folded in the blinds while the bubble was going on.
