Talbot Doubles Up With Aces
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Parker Talbot raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, and both Tim Faro the small blind, and David Urban the big blind called.
The flop came 10♥2♠5♦ and it checked to Talbot who bet out 45,000. Faro folded, and Urban raised all in for Talbot's last 310,000, which he quickly called.
Parker Talbot: A♠A♥
David Urban: 8♠8♣
Urban ran into the aces of Talbot and would need to spike an eight to eliminate Talbot. But when the board ran out 10♦ on the turn, and Q♠ on the river, the pocket aces of Talbot were still best, to secure him a double up.
