Parise Crippled

Brett Parise picked a bad time for a crippling -- just one table out of the money. It was blind on blind for a flop of {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {9-Spades}. Parise was the small blind and checked to his opponent, who bet 5,000. Parise then check-raise all in, putting his opponent deep into the tank. Parise had his opponent covered, so calling on the bubble could be disastrous.

In the end he did decide to call with {10-Spades} {9-Clubs}, top pair. Parise turned over {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} for bottom pair. The {9-Hearts} that hit the turn made the hand a lock for Parise's opponent, and good thing -- the {3-Clubs} hit the river!

Once the stacks were counted down, Parise's opponent doubled to about 55,000 while Parise was left with 6,000.
