Santoro Shuts Down Palma, Baltateanu Folds Would-Be Winner

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With the pot amounting to around 15,000, Stefano Palma jammed in his stack of 14,700 under the gun on a J4Q flop. Amerigo Santoro reshoved for 74,100 in the cutoff, and Silviu Baltateanu spent some time in the tank before folding his A2 face up.

Stefano Palma: Q9 All in
Amerigo Santoro: AA

The 77 runout could not save Palma's top pair as Santoro's aces held for the knockout. Meanwhile, Baltateanu discussed his fold with the players at the table.
