Palma Turns the Tide
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Adrian Mateos raised to 250,000 from the small blind, and Nicholas Palma defended the big blind.
On the A♣8♠6♣ flop, Palma check-raised to 550,000 over a bet of 150,000 and Mateos quickly called.
The Q♣ turn checked through to the 9♥ river. Palma bet 1,400,000 into 1,700,000. Mateos 8♥3♥ folded his pair of eights, and it was the right move as Palma had 7♠5♠ and rivered a straight.
