Talbot Doubles Up With Aces
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Parker Talbot raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, and both Tim Faro the small blind, and David Urban the big blind called.
The flop came 10?2?5? and it checked to Talbot who bet out 45,000. Faro folded, and Urban raised all in for Talbot's last 310,000, which he quickly called.
Parker Talbot: A?A? 
David Urban: 8?8?
Urban ran into the aces of Talbot and would need to spike an eight to eliminate Talbot. But when the board ran out 10? on the turn, and Q? on the river, the pocket aces of Talbot were still best, to secure him a double up.
