Padraig Parkinson at the Double
Level 25
: 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante
Padraig Parkinson found the ideal spot to get his stack of 466,500 into the middle, which was over the top of a Mahmood Rashed three-bet to 131,000.
Rashed called it off from a stack of well over two million chips and there was a classic race on our hands.
Padraig Parkinson: 
Mahmood Rashed: 
The board was a low-yet-timid 
and saw Parkinson double-up with just the thinnest sheen of sweat breaking out across his forehead. He's back to almost having starting stack, while Rashed still has a couple of three-bets in his armoury before even considering dropping back to average.
