Talvitie Gets Max Value With Top Two Pair
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Elias Talvitie opened under the gun with only Mark Saad calling from the small blind.
The dealer spread out a flop of 8♣A♦10♥ and Saad check-called a bet of 50,000 from Talvitie.
The 5♥ hit the turn and Saad check-called another bet from Talvitie, this time for 250,000.
Saad checked for the last time on the 6♣ river and Talvitie announced all in for Saad's remaining 900,000. Saad thought for a while before flicking in the call.
Talvitie had the goods with A♠10♣ for top two pair. Saad showed A♥9♠ for a pair of aces as he headed to the exit, and all of his chips were sent over to Talvitie.
