Parker Narrows the Gap

Brock Parker
Brock Parker
We picked up a pot in progress on a board reading {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. On the turn, Brock Parker had led out with a bet of 48,000, and Robert Mizrachi had made the call.

On the river, Parker fired out another 85,000 chips, drawing a raise to 235,000 from Mizrachi. Parker thought it over for a minute or two before making the call for a significant portion of his stack.

It was the right move. Parker showed up {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, and Mizrachi flung his cards into the muck. That pot brings the two players much closer together with about 950,000 chips each.
