Palma, Wigg Bust in Three-Way Clash
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Anton Wigg committed his last 15,000 in early position. Nicholas Palma had around 35,000 in front of him and reshoved in the cutoff. Big blind Mihai Tabac had both covered and called.
Anton Wigg: Qx9x
Nicholas Palma: 5♥5♦
Mihai Tabac: K♠Q♠
"This is just what we need," Palma declared as he rooted for the board to brick on the A♦A♠J♥ flop and 6♥ turn.
The river came the 6♦, however. It double-paired the board, counterfeiting Palma's fives and giving the victory to Tabac's king kicker.
