Parker Gets Knocked Down, Doubles Back Up

I get knocked down, but I get up again...
I get knocked down, but I get up again...

The action folded around to Brock Parker in the small blind. He raised and Matt Keikoan defended his big blind.

The flop was {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Parker led out, Keikoan raised, Parker three-bet and Keikoan called. The board paired with the {8-Spades} on the turn and Parker fired out again. Keikoan called. The river fell the {Q-Clubs} and Parker checked. Keikoan bet and Parker called.

Keikoan turned over {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for eights full of fours and took down the pot, leaving Parker on only 150,000 in chips.

On the next hand Parker raised from the button, Keikoan three-bet from the small blind, Parker four-bet, Keikoan set him in and Parker called.

Parker {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Keikoan {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Parker's tens held up on the {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board and he doubled up to 330,000.

Pumpkin Pumped Up

Jameson Painter raised from the cutoff and Kyle Ray three-bet from the button. Both blinds folded and Painter called.

Painter checked the {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop over to Ray, who bet out. Painter announced a raise, firing up at least one of his orange-clad railbirds who let out quite a gutteral call of "RAAAIIIIISE!!." Ray called and they went to the river. It was the {Q-Spades} and Ray folded to Painter's bet.

The orange railbirds let out a whoop and rattled around their plastic pumpkin as their man raked in the pot.

Idema Pushing Upwards

Zvi Groysman raised from the cutoff seat, and Daniel Idema called to defend his blind. They took a flop of {9-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {K-Spades}, and Idema check-raised Groysman's continuation bet. Groysman called.

Idema led out with a full bet on the {10-Clubs} turn, and Groysman called to see the {8-Clubs} river. One more bet from Idema was enough to win him the pot as Groysman thought better of it and released his hand.

Parker in Reverse, Can't Find Drive

Matt Keikoan raised under the gun, and Brock Parker came along from the big blind as the only caller.

The flop rolled out {10-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}, and Parker check-called a small bet. He check-called a big one on the {J-Diamonds} turn, and Keikoan fired one last bullet on the {3-Clubs} river. Parker couldn't call the last one; he paused for effect and promptly sent his cards into the muck.

He's down to about 275,000 now.

Keikoan Flushes Parker

"I always defend my blind, Brock. Raising is useless."
"I always defend my blind, Brock. Raising is useless."

Keikoan showed {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush and took down the pot, leaving Parker on only 115,000 in chips.

Parker Bobs Back Up

Daniel Idema raised from the cutoff seat, and Brock Parker reraised from the button. Idema raised it back, and Parker ended up all in for 120,000 with {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. Idema turned over his {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, behind but drawing live for the knockout.

The flop came suited {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {A-Clubs}, and the {3-Clubs} on the river gave Parker the unbeatable flush and secured his double up. Up and down he goes, and now he finds himself back up at 285,000, just keeping his head above water for now.

Groysman Gutted

Matt Keikoan raised from the cutoff, Zvi Groysman three-bet from the button and Keikoan called.

Keikoan checked the {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop to Groysman, who bet. Keikoan raised and Groysman called. Groysman called Keikoan down on the {10-Diamonds} turn and the {10-Hearts} river.

Keikoan showed {J-Spades}{3-Spades} for two pair and Groysman mucked. He's on fumes with only 150,000 left in his stack.
