We caught Brock Parker in a hand on the flop with about 3,000 in the pot. The board read 
and Parker was faced with a 2,000 chip bet from his opponent.
Parker called and the dealer put out the 
on the turn. Action went check, check, and it was off to the river.
The 
fell on the river and Parker's opponent bet out 3,500. Parker didn't take long to call the bet. His opponent turned over 
for a rivered pair of tens, but Parker turned over 
for the winning pair of queens. With that hand, Parker moved over 50,000 in chips.

Lex Veldhuis and Victoria Coren seem to be having a good time at their table as both of them have been gathering a lot of chips over the past hour. When we walked by, Veldhuis was all smiles and was playing with the dealer button while drinking a beer.
In a recent hand, one player moved all in for 16,100 from middle position, and action folded to Veldhuis who moved all-in over the top.
Everyone else folded and the cards were on their backs. Veldhuis was holding the 
and had his opponent crushed, who was holding the 
.
The flop fell 
giving Veldhuis a pair and a royal flush draw, leaving his opponent drawing dead to a chop or running 8s.
The turn was the and the river was the 
awarding Veldhuis the pot and moving him up to 46,000 chips. At the other end of the table, Victoria Coren has chipped up to nearly 70,000.
