It's been a good week for Pittsburgh Penguin center Maxime Talbot. Yesterday he signed a new 2-year contract with the Pens, and today he's playing in the Main Event. Talbot won his seat by winning a tournament that featured other NHL stars like Martin Brodeur, Simon Gagne, and Sheldon Souray.

When asked last week about his poker skills Talbot modestly said, "Actually, I'm pretty bad." But so far things have gone all right for Max. He built his stack up to around 37,000 before slipping back to around 16,000 at the dinner break. And if there's one skill that translates well from hockey to poker, it's grinding out a result.
