Parker Hits One Outer on the River to Double Through "Choctaw"

We heard a commotion over at Table 13 and made our way over to discover that Jim Parker had just hit a one outer on the river to keep his 2012/2013 WSOP Circuit Choctaw Main Event hopes alive.

In the hand, a short-stacked Parker moved all in for 11,500 from the hijack with the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and received a call from the player in the small blind. Justin "Choctaw" Kruger then looked down at the {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and moved all in over the top, and the small blind called off his last 14,000.

The {10-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop gave both Parker and Kruger a set, but of course the latter's was out in front. The {5-Spades} turn meant Parker needed the case ten on the river, and wouldn't you know it, the {10-Clubs} spiked.

Parker was all smiles, and even Kruger, who won the side pot to eliminate the small blind, couldn't help but laugh. "You can tell everybody you beat 'Choctaw' with a one outer," Kruger said with a smile.
