In the final hand of Level 6, Season X WPT World Champion Marvin Rettenmaier was all in from the hijack on the turn in a three-way pot against William Parker and WSOP November Niner Neil Blumenfield.

The board showed Qs6d2d7cQd, and the river card paired the board with the Qd. Blumenfield moved all in from the cutoff, and Parker tanked for a while before he called from the small blind.

Rettenmaier showed Qs9h for trip queens, but Blumenfield turned over KhQh for trip queens with a higher kicker.

But neither hand was good. Parker flipped over Ad7d to win the pot with an ace-high flush, eliminating both players on the last hand before the dinner break.

(Registration remains open until the end of the dinner break, so both Rettenmaier and Blumenfield have the option of re-entering one last time today.)

We’re not sure yet if this pot gave Parker the chip lead, but it does put him up near 180,000.

William Parker  –  178,775  (447 bb)
