Hand Hero Calls Parkinson to Grab Lead
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Padraig Parkinson open-raised to 10,000 from the hijack and Fintan Hand called on the button. On the 10?J?3? flop, Parkinson made a huge all-in over-bet of 85,500 chips, sending Hand into the tank.
Eventually, he flicked in a call and the cards were tabled.
Padraig Parkinson: A?2? 
Fintan Hand: Q?J?
Hand's top pair was in the lead against the ace-high of Parkinson. Parkinson's ballsy move did not get rewarded as the 6?J? runout upgraded Hand to trips.
Parkinson could only compliment Hand's hand while he left the tournament area, while the PokerStars Ambassador ended up with the most chips in the room.
