Talbot Joins Late and Doubles
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
PokerStars Ambassador Parker "tonkaaap" Talbot joined Day 1a of the Eureka Main Event at the last possible moment and thus sat in the big blind with a fresh stack of 30,000 chips.
After Maksim Petrov raised from under the gun, Talbot pushed all in and received a call from the initial raiser.
Parker Talbot: 3?3?
Maksim Petrov: 8?8?
It was looking like Talbot's adventure would last only a few minutes when the board ran out K?10?2?Q?, but the miraculous 3? river saw him hit a set to win the pot and rake in a double-up.
