Vaidya Sends Out Palermino
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Suketu Vaidya raised to 1,200 in middle position and Uziibayar Uranchimeg called in the small blind. John Palermino then three-bet to 7,000 in the big blind, and Vaidya four-bet to 22,000. Uranchimeg got out of the way, while Palermino called.
Vaidya moved all in on the 9♦J♦J♣ flop, and Palermino quickly called for his last 10,000.
John Palermino: A♣Q♣
Suketu Vaidya: A♥K♠
Both players hit two pair on the A♦ turn, while Vaidya remained in the lead with his king-kicker. The river was the 8♣, and Palermino was sent to the rail.
