Parker Cruising Along

Brock Parker has had a great 2012 World Series of Poker, posting six cashes and more than $200,000 in tournament winnings. This includes a final table finish in Event 25: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout and a third place in Event 12: $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em. He will be looking to add a deep finish in the Main Event to these results and early indications are looking good.

We recently watched Parker open the button to 1,000 and get a call from the player in the big blind. On the {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Parker's opponent checked and Parker bet 1,600. The player called and it was on to the {k-Spades} turn. Parker's opponent again checked and this time Parker bet 3,500. A tank from Parker's opponent would eventually see him slide his cards into the muck, sending the pot to Parker.
