Talbot Dodges a Bullet
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
In a heads-up pot on a board of A?J?6?Q?, Kiryl Asaulenka checked in the big blind and Parker Talbot bet 51,000 on the button. Asaulenka called.
Asaulenka checked again on the 4? river and Talbot thought for a minute before checking back. Asaulenka tabled A?10? for a pair of aces and the PokerStars Team Pro mucked in defeat while speculating that his opponent would have snap-called if he jammed.
"I dodged a bullet," Talbot said as he patted himself on the back.
