Karen Talamayan Pays Out Another Short Stack

Level 20: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000
Karen Talamayan

Karen Talamayan once had an overwhelming big stack but has been the ATM machine for several players including Ying Pang during the bubble round. Opening 24,000 from under the gun, Talamayan called Pang's three-bet shove of 51,000.
