Palmer Spikes a Two-Outer on the River to Double
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Benjamin Palmer raised to 4,000 under the gun before Michael Gathy three-bet to 11,000 in middle position. Palmer then moved all in for 92,000, and Gathy snap-called.
Benjamin Palmer: Q♦Q♥ 
Michael Gathy: A♥K♥
The two players were off to the races in a classic flip situation as the flop came K♦9♦8♣ to give Gathy the lead with top pair. The turn was the 6♣, but Palmer spiked the Q♠ on the river to make a set and double up.
