Christmas Comes Early for James Parascandola

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

The flop came down {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and James Parascandola saw his opponent lead out, betting 2,500 into a 3,000 pot.

With {9-Hearts}{10-Spades} in the hole, Parascandola made his move and shoved all in for about 10,000 more. His opponent called and rolled over just {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for no pair and no draw, prompting a look of exasperation from Parascandola.

"You call off with king-high there?" queried Parascandola, obviously surprised that his opponent called him down without a hand.

After fading the deck's three remaining kings, Parascandola scored the much needed double and restored his starting stack just before the second break of the day.

Parascandola siphoned about 12,000 more from the same opponent just a few hands later, making trip tens with {Q-}{10-} and extracting value on the river with a 6,000 bet.
