Parker Plunges

Level 16 : 400/800, 0 ante

After a {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board was spread by the dealer Brock Parker bet out 1,600. His opponent, Dan Smith took his time before announcing raise, and putting in 3,900. Action was back to Parker who threw in a giant stack of orange, yellow, and blue and declared all in. Smith made a fairly quick call and both players turned over their hands.

Parker: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Smith: {Q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Parker was miles behind as his pair of fives were no match for Smith's pair of jacks. A five or running straight cards could save Parker, but a {10-Diamonds} on the turn and a {k-Spades} river card brought not such luck. Smith was awarded the double up, and now takes a strong lead in the match.
