Nível 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

An informal agreement had spread at Table 11 that a player would have to show one card randomly when taking down a pot.

On the very next hand Adam Miller raised to 1,400 and called a three-bet from Davidi Kitai to 4,200.

Miller check-called bets of 2,800 on the flop and 9,500 on the turn.

Both players checked the river. Miller showed for the nut flush and Kitai mucked.

"Had to show two there!" he joked, chipping up to around 45,000.

He sits at a table between Chris Maguire PokerStars Ambassador Ben Spragg.

Last year, Parker Talbot said that he was looking forward to the return of live poker, just not for the reason you thought:

"I just want to see my friends, honestly," Talbot told PokerNews. "The majority of my best buds live on the other side of the world and we often meet up on the European Poker Tour and the like, so the fact we haven't been able to travel for live events has been brutal."

Since then Talbot has cashed on the EPT in Barcelona and here in London and is enjoying getting stuck back into the live poker felt. He's just jumped into Day 1b of the EPT London Main Event.

Steven Watts opened to 1,100 from the cutoff and Erik Seidel, who busted earlier and recently bought back in, flat-called on the button. Juan Pardo then three-bet to around 5,000 from the big blind and only Seidel called.
