Kollmann and Parker Eliminated

When three players saw a flop of {9-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, they liked what they saw as a huge three-way pot developed.

Brock Parker, in the small blind, checked over to the player in the big blind who fired 1,600. Erich Kollmann then moved all in before Parker re-raised all in over the top. The big blind couldn't find a reason to fold as he came along as well!

Parker: {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Big Blind: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Kollmann: {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Kings everywhere but Parker's two pair held the lead. That is, until the {Q-Spades} binked the turn to put the big blind ahead, and it stayed that way through the {5-Spades} river.

Kollman was eliminated and Parker was crippled to his last 2,000 chips.

On the very next hand Parker tried to put those chips to work with his {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} up against an opponent's {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. The board rather brutally ran out {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to give his opponent a backdoor running straight (while fading clubs!) to eliminate Parker from the tournament.
