Parker Crippled; Eliminated

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

Omaha Hi-Low

Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Brock Parker has been eliminated.

He was knocked down to 700 after losing a big pot to Bruce Levitt. It began when the under-the-gun player opened with a raise and three others, including Parker and Levitt, called. When the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, the small blind checked and Parker bet 250 from the big. The original raiser then raised to 500, Levitt made it 750 to go, and the small blind folded. Parker four-bet to 1,000, the under-the-gun player called, and then Levitt capped it at 1,250. Two calls followed.

Both Parker and the under-the-gun player check-called a bet of 500 on the {J-Spades} turn and then checked the {7-Diamonds} river. Levitt bet another 500, and Parker shook his head before making the call. The other player got out of the way.

Levitt rolled over the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for the nuts, and Parker mucked his cards. Parker would fall a few minutes later.

"I've Got Too Much S*** I Don't Want People to Know"

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

Omaha Hi-Low

Gavin Smith is one of the most affable players in poker. His jovial disposition, love of the drink, and trademark fedora make him a fan favorite in nearly every tournament he plays. Today, that tournament is Event #25: $2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low.

We recently passed by Smith's table and saw him sitting with a copy of Dutch Boyd's new book Poker Tilt.

"When are we going to get a book about you?" we asked. Smith replied that he didn't write well enough, but we countered by saying he could always get someone else, like his good friend Nolan Dalla, to write it.

"I've got too much s*** I don't want people to know," Smith said with a smile.

A moment later, action folded to Smith in the cutoff and he raised. Only the big blind called and the two saw a flop of {6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The big blind check-called a bet of 250, and then proceeded to check-call bets of 500 on both the {6-Hearts} turn and {9-Diamonds} river.

Smith tabled the {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for aces and nines, which was good for the high. The big blind then showed the {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a low and the other half of the pot.

After a player completed with the {K-Clubs} showing and another called with the {6-Spades}, Bryan "The Icon" Micon raised to 500. Both his opponents called and then check-called a bet of 250 on fourth street.

Micon bet 500 when he paired on fifth, both his opponent called and then the action repeated itself on sixth. Micon tossed out a final bet on seventh, the player that had completed folded, and the other one made the call.

Micon: {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} / {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Completer: {x-}{x-} / {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} / {x-} fold
Other Player: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} / {x-}

"Three's full," an excited Micon declared before tabling his hand. His opponent shook his head, gathered his cards and mucked.

One Chop and a Scoop for Maria

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

Omaha Hi-Low

In the first hand, we saw Maria Ho defend her small blind against Jon Turner and then raise the {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{K-Hearts} flop. Turner tossed in the extra chips and bet the {4-Diamonds} turn before both checked the {10-Clubs} river. Turner showed {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and won the low pot; Ho claimed the high with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

One hand later, Ho called a raise out of the button. Two streets before, both checked the {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} river. Her opponent was bluffing with {A-Hearts}{8-}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Ho held {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.
