Parkinson on the Plus Side

The action folded to Padraig Parkinson who raised to 525 from middle position before the button and the blinds called to make it four-handed to a flop of {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}. The blinds checked to Parkinson who bet 1,000 and only the button was interested in seeing the turn with Parkinson, which was the {K-Diamonds}.

Parkinson led out for 1,025 and the button called, then the action repeated on the river {3-Hearts} before Parkinson showed down {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for two pair. The button player didn't look all that happy as he mucked.

Parkinson is now up to more than 34,000.
