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. He's currently battling in Day 2 of the $50 million guaranteed event.

Ermo Kosk raised to 425,000 on the button and Taylor Wilson moved all in for 2,000,000 in the small blind. Chris Moneymaker then reshoved in the big blind and Kosk folded.

Taylor Wilson: A♦4♠ All in
Chris Moneymaker: 6♠6♦

Wilson failed to catch up as the board came Q♠9♠2♥7♦.

"Good game, guys," he said, getting up from his seat even before the J♥ fell on the river to seal his elimination.

"Do you get there?" Moneymaker asked Kosk after the hand.

"I had fives," Kosk replied.

Yang Wang opened 450,000 in the hijack before Gleb Tremzin jammed all in from the big blind. Wang asked for a count, and as the dealer was counting the chips, Tremzin reached into his bag to pull out his camera. After hearing it was 4,025,000, Wang made the call.

Gleb Tremzin: K♣9♣ All in
Yang Wang: A♣Q♣

The K♠Q♥8♠ flop hit both players, giving Tremzin the lead with a pair of kings. However, the A♠ turn improved Wang to two pair to regain the lead as he nodded in approval of the turn. The J♥ river was no help for Tremzin as he headed toward the exit.

Level 21 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 400,000 from under the gun and was called by Matthew Wantman in the hijack. They went heads-up to a flop of J♥10♥2♠ and Lin continued with a bet of 400,000 which Wantman called.

The turn brought the 9♥ and Lin dropped in a bet of 1,000,000. Wantman still called and the Q♦ river put four cards to a straight on the board. Lin still threw in a bet of 1,000,000 and Wantman released his cards.

"Terrible river," Lin complained. "Terrible."
