Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Martin Zamani opened in the cutoff and Parker Talbot three-bet jammed a stack of around 6,200,000 in the small blind. Zamani called with a bigger stack.

Parker Talbot: A♥K♠ All in
Martin Zamani: 9♦7♦

"How about one of those flops like ace-deuce-deuce black?" pleaded Talbot.

He wasn't far off as the flop landed A♠K♥2♠ to give him a virtual lock on the hand before the board finished out Q♦10♦.

"Ask and you shall receive!" he said.

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Parker Talbot was all in for around 2,000,0000 from the small blind against Ren Lin from under the gun.

Parker Talbot: K♦J♥ All in
Ren Lin: Q♠10♠

The flop of 8♣J♣K♣ gave Talbot two pair but left him with plenty to dodge as Lin picked up an open-ended straight draw. However, the board finished out 4♥3♥ as Talbot earned another small double before heading to break.
