"August $150,000" (Day 2): Parra Finds Aces At The Perfect Time

"August $150,000 GTD"
$360 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 20 (Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 792
Players Remaining: 45/792


Troy Parra (Margate, FL) 

Juan Rodriguez opened the action at Table 2 from earlier position, with a raise to 25,000.  After three folds, Troy Parra would put together a three-bet, and push forward 90,000 (which was about half his stack).  Players continued to fold behind, and with action back on Rodriguez, he would four-bet shoved (having Parra covered).

Troy made the quick call, and Rodriguez seemingly knew what he was up against, as he rolled over Q Q♠.  Parra tabled A♠ A, and while the K♣ 6♠ 2 38♠ runout had some paint in it, it wasn't the royalty that Rodriguez was looking for.  Parra is now over the chip average, while Juan is left with less than six big blinds.

Troy Parra - 415,000 (41bb)
Juan Rodriguez - 57,000 (5bb)
