The flop came 5♠4♣2♠ and Weissman led out for 40,000. Covington called and the 10♦ fell on the turn.

Weissman then bet another 80,000 and Covington again called. The river was the J♦ and Weissman bet 225,000.

Click here to read PokerNews' full winner recap!

Former NBA point guard Tony Parker made his worst pass ever when he tossed pocket kings in the muck preflop on Day 1a of the $25,000 buy-in Super Main Event at World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise.

The four-time basketball champion didn't make many poor decisions during his career on the San Antonio Spurs. He's known for having a high basketball IQ. But he made an uncharacteristic mistake in poker's largest guaranteed tournament ever that would cause his coach, Gregg Popovich, to sit him on the bench.

PokerNews caught up with Parker as he bagged up his chips on Day 1a and talked about his thought process in the hand, battling with seasoned pros and which of Parker's former Spurs teammates is the best poker player.
