Parker's bracelet win in Event No. 14 wasn't the first success the 27-year-old Maryland native has had at the WSOP, however.
He had a couple of near-misses previously, making final tables both at the $10,000 World Championship limit hold'em event in 2008 and a third-place finish at another limit hold'em shootout event at the 2003 WSOP. He now has over $410,000 in career tourney winnings, a total to which he'll be adding significantly today.
