Talbot Flushes Out Kravchenko��s Top Pair
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Parker Talbot kicked off the action from middle position with a raise to 1,300, and Dmitrii Kravchenko, sitting on the button, responded with a three-bet to 4,000. Talbot called, setting up the showdown.
The flop came 2?4?Q?, and Talbot checked, allowing Kravchenko to continue with a 3,000 bet. Talbot wasn��t backing down, though, and raised to 11,500. Kravchenko took a moment before deciding to shove all-in, and Talbot snap-called.
Dmitrii Kravchenko: A?Q?
Parker Talbot: A?J?
Kravchenko was ahead with top pair, but Talbot had a flush draw with plenty of outs. The 7? on the turn completed Talbot��s flush, leaving Kravchenko drawing dead and eliminating him from the tournament.
