Calderaro and Parvizi Entertain the Table

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

There was plenty of laughter to hear from Yevgeniy Timoshenko and JC Tran, and plenty of banter emerged on their table between James Calderaro and Iraj Parvizi. Apparently, the latter had just doubled through the former in a big pot, and Calderaro joked, "I don't want to say I got it in in a bad way. It was a shit way."

"You want to finish me off?" Calderaro asked and raised the next hand to 2,800. Parvizi called on the button, and the flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Calderaro bet 3,000, and Parvizi called. "I check, I can't beat the nuts," Calderaro announced before the {5-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Parvizi checked back, and the {8-Hearts} river completed the board. Calderaro bet 5,000, and Parvizi folded, before Calderaro said, "I had a flush draw," while flashing {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

The outcome? Parvizi is among the chip leaders while Calderaro dropped well below the starting stack.
