Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

With most of the chips already in preflop, the last 3,700 of Parker Talbot went in after the {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop. He was called by Christian Rudolph and both revealed one card after the other while the TV crew was recording the showdown.

Parker Talbot: {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Christian Rudolph: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The paired jack had Rudolph ahead but Talbot improved with the {a-Hearts} turn. However, another twist to the story followed as the {3-Hearts} river improved Rudolph to a winning flush.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alex Kulev
Alex Kulev

Alex Kulev raised to 2,400 from an early position, and Sebastien Aube called in the big blind while enjoying a massage. On the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Aube check-called for 4,500 and then opted to lead the {6-Clubs} turn for 7,500, earning a call from Kulev.

After the {4-Hearts} river, Aube pushed all-in and Kulev instantly called. Aube revealed the {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a bluff gone wrong, and Kulev scored the knockout with the {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a straight, stating "lucky" with a smile on his face. That ended the massage and tournament of Aube for now, but he may reenter before the start of Level 11.

Taberham Trumps Tens to Triple

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Patros Benham opened to 2,500 but then short-stacked Simon Taberham moved all in behind him for 11,700 total.

The action was then on Isaac Haxton, who decided to make the call after a brief stint in the tank. It folded back around to Benham, who then decided to go all in himself for a total of 38,600. Haxton made the call and the cards were on their backs, with Haxton covering.

Simon Taberham: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Patros Benham: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Issac Haxton: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

"Well, I'm in good shape!" Taberham said when he realized what he was up against.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, which gave Taberham top pair but Haxton was holding the {10-Hearts} for a flush draw. Luckily for Taberham, the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} which awarded him the pot for a triple up while Haxton and Benham took back their bets.

"Well that wasn't the worst outcome," Haxton admitted as Taberham stacked his new chips.
