Talbot Cracks Set to Double
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ruslan Zainullin opened to 2,000 from the cutoff, and Parker Talbot defended his big blind.
On the 10♠7♥4♦ flop, Talbot check-raised to 5,600 versus a bet of 1,500 from Zainullin. After some thought. Zainullin called.
The 3♠ rolled off on the turn, and Talbot continued with a bet of 5,400. Again Zainullin called.
The 5♥ river completed the board and Talbot moved all in for 6,800, with Zainullin making the quick call.
Zainullin confidently turned over 7♣7♠ for a set of sevens, but Talbot tabled 6♥5♣ for the turned seven-high straight, sending him the double-up.
