Linaras, Talbot Win Big on the River
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sokratis Linaras and Vladas Tamasauskas had already built up a massive pot of around 300,000 as they went to the river on a board of K?Q?9?10?5?. Linaras then moved all in for 196,000 in the cutoff.
Tamasauskas called under the gun and Linaras showed A?J? for the nut straight. Tamasauskas sent KxJx into the muck for a lower straight as he handed over the double up.
At the same time on an adjacent table, Parker Talbot was sliding forward a bet of 85,000 on a board of 2?10?9?10?8? against Claudio Di Giacomo. Di Giacomo called, then mucked when Talbot showed J?10? for trip tens.
