Parkhimovich First to 300k

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Val Parkhimovich
Val Parkhimovich

With the board reading {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Val Parkhimovich checked from middle position, and his hijack opponent bet 19,000. Parkhimovich thought it over for a few moments, then made the call.

The pot stood at more than 60,000 when the {8-Diamonds} came in on the river. Parkhimovich checked again, the hijack went all in for 37,500, and again Parkhimovich went into the tank.

He eventually chose to call, and the hijack immediately mucked. Parkhimovich turned over {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, and the hijack's cards were revealed by the dealer as {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Parkhimovich now appears to be the Day 1c chip leader at the moment, and the first to hit the 300k chip mark in the flight.
