Brandon Bloom

Level 8 : 1,250/2,500, 325 ante

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot opened to 5,500 in early position and Stevan "random_chu" Chew three-bet to 17,500 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Talbot who put his 107,824 stack into the middle. Chew called and players revealed their hands.

Stevan "random_chu" Chew:

The flop kept Chew in the lead, but the turn moved Talbot in front. With Chew needing a river king or spade, the sent the pot Talbot's way.

After the hand, Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit mentioned he had an ace "just to tilt him more". The three players joked around with each other in the chat, leading Kanit to muse that Talbot is quite friendly, especially after hitting a two-outer, to which Talbot replied, "hahaha so true".
