Talbot Takes it on the Turn
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Parker Talbot opened to 4,000 from middle position and was called by Sardor Shagulyamov in the cutoff, Samuel Fournier on the button, and Elie Saade in the big blind for a four-way pot.
Saade checked to Talbot, who bet 2,000 on the J♥6♥K♣ flop. Shagulyamov called, Fournier folded, and Saade called.
The 2♠ fell on the turn and it was again checked to Talbot, who sized up for a bet of 18,500. This time Shagulyamov and Saad both folded and Talbot took down the pot.
"Pick one," Talbot said.
"I like two or zero," Shagulyamov replied.
"Zero then!" Talbot said as he collected the pot. "You've gotta live with a little suspense."
