    We are in the last level of play in Day 1A, and the pots are getting bigger and bigger. The trend of three- and four-betting continues, and it’s building huge stacks for some and sending others to the rail.

    The blinds were 1.2K/2.4K when Aaron Roy Parson opened the action from early position to 5.4K. This raise drew a series of calls before the action got to Joshua Frazer James in the big blind. James made it 27.5K to go and gave Parsons something to think about. After a moment in the tank, Parsons re-raised to 65.5K; the other players couldn’t fold fast enough. James immediately threw in a chip, and they were off to see the flop. It seemed unlikely that the flop of 2 of Spades 9 of Spades 4 of Hearts connected with either player’s hand. James checked to Parsons who quietly announced “all in.” James asked for the count and rose out of his chair. After about two minutes, James made the call. Parsons said “nice call,” and James knew his Queen of Clubs Queen of Spades were good. Parsons tabled Ace of Diamonds King of Clubs and picked up his coat. The turn and river were blanks, James scooped a huge pot and Parsons hit the rail.
