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?

Sammy Farha makes a good laydown with his AQ spades. Players run it twice. Well played by both of these pros, but Mr. Safai sucks out and makes a STRAIGHT on the first run — Daniel’s ace high holds up in run number two which makes it a chopped pot.

Jamie Gold considered calling here — and potentially he would have lost a big pot against Bob Safai — if he would have called Jamie’s bets, obviously… ;) Enjoy!
