Talbot's Lack of Concentration Pays Off
Tamas Adamszki opened to 13,000 from early position before Parker Talbot unintentionally called on his direct left. Talbot did not see the initial raise and wanted to kick things himself. He had wanted to make it 12,000 and put 10,000 in the middle before seeing Adamszki had acted. The floor ruled it as a call. Robbie Toan then defended his big blind.
Action checked to Talbot on the Q?8?3? flop and he bet 11,000. Only Toan called. Toan then check-folded to a bet 23,000 on the J? turn.
"So lucky," chimed Astedt before Talbot flashed a nine.
"All of those chips for not paying attention," added Astedt which drew a laugh from the PokerStars Ambassador.
"I would've won a similar-sized pot. I would have gone all in, and he [Admaszki] would've folded," replied Talbot.
