Parker's Big Slick Gets There
Niveau 8
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Three players’ stacks found their way into the middle in the Brasilia Room just before the level change. Kyle Parker had raised, a short stack moved all-in, and Joel Thomas three-bet a tower of purple 5,000 chips from the blinds to give Parker his own decision regarding his tournament life. A short while later, that decision was made, his 25,000 or so going in too.
Short stack: 
Parker: 
Thomas: 
The 
flop made a double elimination seem the most likely outcome (Joel was also the only player with a spade in his hand) but the turn and river rolled out 
completing a broadway straight for Parker. Joel’s tower lost a couple of stories but is still over 140,000.
