Talbot's Fortune Changes in the Space of Two Hands, Kaukua Surges Up the Leaderboard
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
After just winning a big pot, Parker Talbot is no longer in the Main Event!
Talbot was seen wishing his tablemates good luck with all of his chips going to Toni Kaukua on his right. The board read 8♠3♦A♥3♥9♠ and the chips had been piled into the middle by the time they got to showdown. Talbot showed AxKx, but he was beaten by the 8♥8♦ of Kaukua, who had flopped a set and turned a full house.
Talbot, who was sitting very comfortably with around 85,000 the hand prior, is now eliminated.
