According to Twitter, 888Poker Team Pro Parker Talbot has lofty ambitions for his first non-NLHE live tournament.

And after a player called with a two, Talbot completed and his opponent called. His opponent check-called on fourth street and then bet fifth and sixth street, with Talbot calling.

The Canadian's opponent reverted to check-calling on seventh street.
