Brock for the Block

Is that a poker face, or is that a poker face? Whatever the case, it has served Brock “t soprano” Parker quite well. He looks as cool as his namesake in this undated photo, but he was looking far more elated yesterday, while playing in the short but very active Event #14 in the World Series of Poker.

Eleven players went into this event. The game? Six Handed Limit Poker at $2,500. That ain’t no chump change, folks.

Parker, a well known online poker player, did the deed well before midnight last night in Las Vegas. In a surprising game full of action, twists, and turns, Parker took home his very first World Series of Poker bracelet.

But that ain’t the best part.

He came from way, way, waaay behind, and beat out none other than Daniel Negreanu.

While that bracelet is certainly sweet, we doubt that is what had “t soprano” looking so pleased on the shot of his mug you can see if you are following the series at PokerNews. On the contrary, that expression belongs on the face of a man who has just one $223,688. Hey Tone, can we get a loan?
