McParland Makes a Big Call
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Heads-up on a board of 5♣A♦J♠Q♦, Matt McParland bet 17,000 from early position before Courtney Farnes moved all in from the hijack.
"What's it going to be?" McParland muttered to himself as he kneeled on his chair and went deep into the tank. He had around 35,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before calling.
Farnes showed A♠J♣ for two pair, but McParland had A♥Q♣ for a better two pair. The river was the 3♥ and McParland doubled up.
"Only in the Main Event. I've never thought that long before," McParland said after the hand.
