Rocco Edges Away

Rocco Palumbo has seen his chip lead increase a little further as he has taken down another pot. This one started with Nelson Robinson opening the button to 100,000 and Palumbo three-betting to 275,000. Robinson called and a {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop was spread on the felt.

Palumbo led for 250,000 on the flop and Robinson called. On the {10-Hearts} turn, both players checked and the {q-Spades} completed the board on the river. This time Palumbo led for 425,000 and after some thought, Robinson called.

When Palumbo tabled his {6-}{6-}, the pocket pair was enough to see Robinson's cards into the muck.
