Palma Sent Packing
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded to Nick Palma on the button, who raised to 120,000, only for Antoine Labat sat in the small blind to three-bet all in for 900,000 and he had Palma covered. The big blind folded quicker than a cheetah on caffeine and Palma snap-called.
Nick Palma: Q♥Q♦
Antoine Labat: 9♥9♣
Not the flop Palma wanted to see of 2♦9♠8♦, to send Labat into the lead, but he still had outs to stay alive. None were forthcoming on the 3♠ turn and when the river bricked out with the 10♣ Palma was sent to the cage.
Chung-Tang Lin was also sent to the rail on an outer table.
