Palumbo Over 400K

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rocco Palumbo
Rocco Palumbo

Rocco Palumbo had chipped up to more than 350,000 before opening in middle position and calling a three-bet to 23,000 from Brian Leitch in the big blind. Leitch committed his remaining 40,000 on the flop {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Palumbo called.

Brian Leitch: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Rocco Palumbo: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"That sucks," said Palumbo after seeing Leitch pip him. "I hit, too," he added as the turn {10-Clubs} brought one card between Leitch and a double. Unfortunately for Leitch, that final card came {8-Clubs} and proved to be the last card of his tournament.

"Just the way my night's gone," said Leitch with a smile after finding himself eliminated. Fourteen players now remain.
