An Orbit with PokerStars Ambassador Parker Talbot

Parker Talbot is setting the pace on Day 1e of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas.

PokerNews stopped by Talbot's table for an orbit with the popular streamer. He started with 243,000 — a total that put him among the leaders.

Hand 1: (Hijack) Talbot folded to a 3,000 raise from Nick Pupillo.

Hand 2: (Middle position) Talbot raised to 2,400 and the player in the next seat over called before Vanessa Castro came along from the button. The player next to Castro shoved with her last 4,800 and everyone called. The flop was A♣10♠7♦ and action checked to Castro for a shove of her remaining stack. Talbot and the player to his left folded before Castro held on to secure the elimination with a pair of aces.

Hand 3: (Big Blind) Talbot raised and Pupillo was the lone caller from the small blind. The flop was Q♣7♥4♣ and Pupillo checked. Talbot bet 2,400 and called when Pupillo raised to 8,000. The turn was 7♦ and Pupillo continued for 11,500. Talbot called once again and the river was A♠. Pupillo shoved the river and Talbot got away from it.

Ethan Yau sat down two seats to the right of Talbot at the conclusion of the hand.

Hand 4: (Small blind) Talbot folded to a 3,000 raise from Pupillo.

Hand 5: (Button) Yau raised to 2,000 from the hijack and Talbot called before the big blind tossed in chips to join. The flop was 10♥4♣6♦ and action checked to Talbot for a 1,200 bet. The big blind made it 6,300 and both Yau and Talbot tossed their hands in the muck.

Hand 6: (Cutoff) Talbot raised to 2,400 and the rest of the table folded.

Hand 7: (Hijack) Talbot raised to 2,400 and the big blind was the lone caller. The flop was 10♠2♥6♥ and the big blind check-folded to a small bet from Talbot.

Talbot finished the orbit with 204,000.
