Parker Short

Benjamin Parker is in trouble.
Benjamin Parker is in trouble.

Benjamin Parker opened to 50,000 from under the gun, and George Danzer called on the button. Both players drew one.

Parker checked, and Danzer announced, "Eighty-five thousand."

Parker tanked for the better part of two minutes, then called. Danzer fanned {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}, and Parker unhappily mucked.

A Tense Moment

George Danzer opened with a raise only to have Mike Watell come over the top for 125,000 total. Danzer replied by four-betting his entire stack for 473,000 total and Wattel was clearly distraught.

"What? No glasses?", Wattel asked Danzer noticing that the sunglasses Danzer usually wore during hands were absent.

Eventually Wattel made what seemed to be a painful fold and the pot was shipped the way of Danzer.

Ashton Griffin open-shoved from under the gun, and Mike Wattel tanked for over a minute, then called on his direct left. The action folded behind, and Griffin drew one. Wattel stood pat with {9-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}.

Griffin was drawing thin with {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}, and grabbed his backpack before the dealer dealt him his downcard. He quickly turned over a queen, then exited the Pavillion stage.

Wattel showed a pat jack with {J-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}.

Schulman fanned {7-}{5-}{3-}{2-} for a nut draw and was drawing to bust Wattel. Schulman pulled the {7-Clubs} and paired his seven, allowing Wattel to double through.

Both players drew one card and after some pondering, Schulman moved 173,000 into the middle. Griffin folded his hand and Schulman took down the pot.
