Aces Hold for Parkinson
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
"Raise… call… call… all in… call… pot."
So said Dave Fox, explaining the action on a big three-way hand at his table involving himself and two other players to Jeff Madsen who had wandered over. In the sequence Fox had been the second caller and the pot-sized reraiser, ultimately putting both of his opponents all in and having them covered.
We only arrived to see the end result. The board read 
. One all-in player — already departed — had 
for a big whiff. Fox had 
for kings and queens. And Padraig Parkinson had tabled 
, his aces having held throughout all of the action to win him a better than 130,000-chip pot just as Level 10 was coming to a close.
