The Champ Doubles Up

Brett Parise
Brett Parise
Brett Parise was short-stacked but looked down at {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and shoved his last 10,000 chips into the middle. Lee Nelson, now with chips to spare, took a shot at eliminating the defending champion with a gambling call holding {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} gave Parise two pair but Nelson was happy enough with that flop as it gave him the flush draw. The turn was the {K-Spades} to give Nelson additional straight outs for a chop, but the river bricked the {8-Diamonds} as Parise doubled up to nearly 30,000 chips.
