Brock Parker Wins 2014 World Series of Poker $10,000 Omaha Eight-or-Better Championship

Card Player’s 2014 WSOP coverage is sponsored by CarbonPoker.

Brock Parker continued the developing trend of players with multiple bracelets coming back for more at the 2014 World Series of Poker, topping a field of 178 players to win the $10,000 Omaha eight-or-better championship to earn the $443,407 first-place prize and his third gold bracelet, having won two hold’em six-max events in 2009.

In addition to the title, the hardware and the money Parker also earned 780 Card Player Player of the Year points. This was the second final table appearance for the 32-year-old poker pro from Silver Spring, Maryland. He finished fifth in the $1,500 Razz event just days earlier, hopping into this event after hitting the rail at the final table.

By the time the last hand arose Ashby had only a handful of big bets. Parker raised on the button with the 6542 and Ashby made it three-bets to go with the AAA10. Parker called and the flop brought the 987. They got the last of Ashby’s chip in right there, with Parker’s straight a huge favorite to win the pot and the title. The 9 on the turn gave Ashby some life with a draw at a full house, but the 3 secured it for Parker and sent Ashby to the rail with $274,019 for his runner-up finish.

Here is a look at the payouts and POY points awarded at this final table:
