Betbese Doubles, Talbot Joins
Level 4
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Pedro Padilha opened to 2,500 in early position and was called by the player on his left. Nicolas Betbese was in the cutoff and squeezed to 11,000. Padilha folded but the next player moved all in with the larger of the two stacks. Betbese quickly called off his stack of 96,400 and the cards were tabled.
Nicolas Betbese: J♥J♦
Opponent: A♥K♣
It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of Q♥7♣6♥ favored Betbese with the pair of jacks. The 10♦ on the turn gave his opponent a couple of extra outs but the 5♦ on the river was a clean runout for Betbese to double up.
Next door, Parker Talbot took his seat for the first time and was quickly engaged in some friendly conversations with his tablemates.
