So It Goes

Shamus

Lisa Parsons, who finished 76th in the WSOP Main Event last summer and who made the final table of the Ladies' No-Limit Hold'em event last week, was just involved in one of those frustrating blind-vs.-blind hands that will come up in limit hold'em.

She and her opponent had gotten to the river with the board showing {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

, and she check-called her opponent's bet. He turned over {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

-- he'd stuck around with the flush draw and hit his nine -- while she had {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

.

Parsons still has about 10,000.
