Palma Folds a Monster
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nicholas Palma raised to 80,000 from the hijack and Vitalijs Zavorotnijs defended the big blind.
Zavorotnijs led out for 60,000 on the 9♥8♦7♦ flop and was called. The 10♥ turn put a four-liner on the board and Zavorotnijs sized up to 180,000. Palma used a time bank and then called.
There was 700,000 in the pot going to the 5♣ river. Zavorotnijs jammed for Palma's last 870,000. Palma used another two time banks as he counted out his stack before letting his hand go.
It was a sick fold from Palma, who ditched his A♣J♥ which was good for a jack-high straight. Zavorotnijs had Q♥J♠ for a queen-high straight.
