Poaching Parsons

Emad Tahtouh

Emad Tahtouh and Peter Peeters recently enjoyed a feast together and the main course was Roumald Parsons' chip stack.

On a flop of {6-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, Peeters led out with a 1,600 bet and Parsons made the call. Then action then fell to Tahtouh, who raised to 5,000; both players tagged along.

On the turn ({10-Clubs}), Peters fired a 9,000 bet and Parsons made the call. Tahtouh then dove into the tank, eventually emerging with an all in bet (19,000). Peeters followed suit and moved in over the top of both for a total of 28,000. Parsons hung around as well and had both of his opponents covered.

Showdown
:
Parsons: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}
Peeters: {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Tahtouh: {K-Spades} {8-Hearts}

The river delivered the {4-Spades}, a safe card for Tahtouh and Peeters who chopped the pot (Parsons' chips) with trip eights. After the hand, Emad improved to 36,000, Peeters to 32,000 and Parsons dropped to 10,000 in chips.
