Parise Gets a Reprieve

[user38334]

UTG Brett Parise moves all in for 95,000 and it is folded around to Nicholas Bamman who makes the call. Bamman opens his cards and goes white as he opens {J-Hearts}

exclaiming, "I thought I had pocket jacks!"
Colour returns to his face when he sees Parise's hand of {7-Spades}

.

On the turn the board showed {A-Spades}

and Parise’s day looked over but the {8-Clubs}

on the river gave him the life he so desperately needed and he now has 205,000 in chips.

Final Table Bubble

[user46102]

With only one spot to go until the final table, no one wants to leave just yet! As a poker professional, Van Marcus would be one of the most experienced players in this situation and he is using that to his advantage. Van has been frequently stealing blinds and antes and has worked his stack up to over 500,000.
