Level 5 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Parker Talbot

Chris Straghalis raised preflop and PokerStars Ambassador Parker Talbot pushed all in for his remaining stack of around 20 big blinds. Straghalis made the call.

"Have you got a pair," asked Talbot?

Parker Talbot: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Chris Straghalis: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Straghalis did indeed have a pair and the two were in for a coinflip race, with Talbot facing elimination.

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Straghalis held and Talbot was knocked out of the tournament not long after taking his seat.

Straghalis' is a PokerStars honcho whose official title is Director of Online Poker Experience. Basically, he's Parker Talbot's boss.
