Nicholas Palma Eliminated in 8th Place ($34,800)

Calum Grant

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Nicholas Palma joined the outer table, and was relishing the fact of playing with the big stacks. He came onto the table as the big blind.

Adrian Mateos limped in from the small blind and Palma checked.

Palma called bets of 25,000 and 100,000 on the flop and turn for the board to read 4♥10♣A♠3♣J♥.

Mateos jammed for Palma's last 350,000, and the New Yorker called for his tournament life.

Palma had Jx10x for jacks and tens but Mateos had a wheel with 5♦2♣ to scoop the pot and bust his Purple Jacket rival.
