Set!
Brock Parker was all-in on the turn holding for a straight on a board. His opponent held .
The spiked on the river to chop the pot however.
"Set!!!" Parker yelled sarcastically.
At least he found some humor in the two-outer.

There were 6,000 chips in the middle and the board read when "Miami" John Cernuto bet 2,500 into Michael "mossified84" Skomac.
"I don't know why I believe you," Skomac muttered before flashing the and folding.
We don't know either, because Miami John tabled for a bluff and raked in the pot.
With the board spread Phil Ivey fired out a 2,000-chip bet only to have his opponent move all in. Ivey made the call for his tournament life and the cards were tabled.
Ivey:
Opponent:
With Ivey in great shape to double up, the on the river would see his set of sevens hold as he moves to 18,300 in chips.
When we reached his table, Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot was all-in on a board of holding . His opponent had him in rough shape, holding .
The turn brought the and both players made a full-house with the on the river, but Devilfish's tens full of sixes were of course no good.
"Let that be a lesson to ya," he told the table. "I was getting sick of this tournament, and remember I get 5% of the winner."
Where can we buy an automatic piece of the winner?
"Hey Howard, what was the last song at your high-school dances?" asked Gavin Smith as Howard Lederer made his way through the rail and onto the tournament floor.
Lederer just stopped dead still and paused for a few moments before uttering, "I think it was always Stairway to Heaven."
"His was Sympathy for the Devil," stated Smith as he pointed to his older-looking dealer Jack.
Even if you are humming away to Led Zeppelin's classic, we would just like to inform you - if you hadn't already realized - that Howard Lederer is now in the field.
Daniel Negreanu is quick-witted and unafraid to joke with strangers. He recently picked on a fellow media member for his style of dress.
"Black socks and white shoes?" Negreanu asked him. "That's a dead giveaway; you're European."
Negreanu's read was spot on as per usual.
Ben Wu moved all-in preflop for his last 12,000 chips and Kevin Stammen made the call:
Wu:
Stammen:
The flop gave Wu a big lead and the on the turn ended the hand. The on the river was but a formality, and Wu more than doubled to 27,000 chips.
Stammen dropped to just 7,500 chips.
Phil Hellmuth has graced us with his presence in the Pavilion Room.
Hellmuth is again sporting a green shirt today, but this time rather than a lime tint, it's more of a forrest green.
Let's see if he can keep his PEMM (Positive, Exercising, Meditating, and in the Moment) in check.
After finding aces earlier to double through, Chris Ferguson has again found them - but this time to eliminate an opponent.
With all the chips going into the pot preflop it was Ferguson's in great shape against his opponent's Kings.
The flop put Ferguson squarely in the lead, but when the landed on the turn it gave both players a small sweat. Although the river did pair the board, fortunately for 'Jesus' there was no miracle here as it fell the to see the 2000 WSOP Main Event winner soar to 61,600 in chips.
On a board reading Gavin Smith fired out 2,100 only to get raised by an opponent to 5,300.
Smith made the call before angrily mucking his hand when shown the of his opponent as he slipped to 6,500 in chips.
