Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Connor Richards

Level 22 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Former NBA point guard Tony Parker made his worst pass ever when he tossed pocket kings in the muck preflop on Day 1a of the $25,000 buy-in Super Main Event at World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise.

The four-time basketball champion didn't make many poor decisions during his career on the San Antonio Spurs. He's known for having a high basketball IQ. But he made an uncharacteristic mistake in poker's largest guaranteed tournament ever that would cause his coach, Gregg Popovich, to sit him on the bench.

PokerNews caught up with Parker as he bagged up his chips on Day 1a and talked about his thought process in the hand, battling with seasoned pros and which of Parker's former Spurs teammates is the best poker player. He's currently battling in Day 2 of the $50 million guaranteed event.
