Tonkaaaa Builds Himself a Pot
Level 11
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Eric Aucoin raised to 12,000 from middle position and got a call from David Ormsby on the button. Parker 'Tonkaaaa' Talbot was in the small blind and three-bet to 46,000. Both Aucoin and Ormsby called.
The flop came 
and all three players checked to the 
on the turn. Talbot led out for 56,000 and both of his opponents folded.
"Did you hit that board?" asked Aucoin. Talbot flashed a smile and said, "I had a little somethin' somethin'" as he raked in the pot. "I had jacks" responded Aucoin. "That's a bad board for jacks" replied Talbot. "F***ing right!" exclaimed Aucoin.
