Palma Plays Beautifully, Flops a Monster

Nick Palma
Nick Palma

Nick Palma opened and a player three-bet to 15,000. Palma called and the dealer spread out {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Spades} on the flop.

The early position player bet 10,000 and Palma called. A {4-Spades} landed on the turn and the early position player moved Palma all-in. Palma snap-called for his remaining 42,200 and his opponent turned over {k-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a flush draw.

The nut flush draw of his opponent was drawing dead as Palma showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} for flopped quads, taking down the pot from his opponent for a complete double up.

While Day 2 of the Almighty Stack trudges on, a new tournament is slated to kick off at 1 p.m.

Event #12: $1,090 Six-Max NLH ($150,000 GTD) is a two-day tournament and will start players with 20,000 in chips. Late registration and re-entries will be available through the break at the end of Level 10. Levels 1-8 will last 30 minutes and after that will switch to 45 minutes in length. At the final table, they'll jump one more time to one-hour levels.

Last year this tournament cruised by its $150K GTD by drawing 239 entrants, which resulted in a $239,000 prize pool. Shaun O'Donnell of Succasunna, New Jersey ultimately prevailed to win the title and accompanying $61,434 first-place prize.
