Parker Finds a Double

After the player in the hijack raised to 525, James Akenhead three-bet to around 1,400 from the cutoff. Brock Parker then four-bet shoved from the button for 6,375. The original raiser folded, but Akenhead felt he was priced in to call.

Parker: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Akenhead: {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Parker faded disaster to double up to around 13,600. Akenhead was chopped down to 16,000.

Jason DeWitt, the 2010 champion of this event, is also seated at this table. He's working with 6,500 right now.
