Paul Parker Delighted

Paul Parker seems to have raised somewhere along the line, as there was 7,000 in front of him when we arrived at the table, and another gentleman had all his chips in the middle, to easily cover him.

After a moment's consideration, Parker tossed the rest of his 29,000 stack into the pot. It wasn't looking good...

Parker: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Mr. Opponent: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} ..... {Q-Diamonds}

A very fortunate double-up indeed puts Mr. Parker up to 60,000. The dealer attempted to shortchange him briefly, before correcting his mistake. "I'm just delighted to have any money back," said Parker. "Give me my 29 back and I'm delighted."
