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 J♠4♥Q♠ flop. Amerigo Santoro reshoved for 74,100 in the cutoff, and Silviu Baltateanu spent some time in the tank before folding his A♠2♠ face up.
Stefano Palma: Q♣9♣
Amerigo Santoro: A♥A♦
The 7♠7♣ 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.
