Idema Moving in the Right Direction
Zvi Groysman raised from the cutoff and Daniel Idema called from the big blind. The flop came 95K and Idema check-raised a bet from Groyman.
Groysman made the call and saw the 10 fell on the turn. Idema led out and was called once again by Idema. The 8 was the river card and Idema fired one more bullet and that caused Groysman to release his hand.
Idema is now up to 1,360,000 with that pot.
Parker’s Chips Wearing Out the Felt
Brock Parker has been on a roller coaster ride this level. He has been crippled and doubled up twice already when this hand came along.
Daniel Idema raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Brock Parker from the button. Idema put in a fourth bet and Parker got all of his 120,000 in the middle with KQ and was ahead of Idema’s 89.
The flop was 7A4, giving Parker the lead with king-high and the nut flush draw as well. The turn was a blank and the 3 on the river gave Parker the nut flush and the pot. Parker doubled up to 330,000.

The river was the Q and Parker checked and folded fairly quickly to a bet from Groysman. Parker slipped to under 400,000 and Groysman climbed just above that mark.
