Palumbo Makes a Big Call to Double

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Rocco Palumbo in the small blind and he raised to 6,200. Big blind Bart Lybaert called to see a flop in position.

Palumbo bet 6,000 on {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and Lybaert called. Palumbo then checked the {7-Hearts} on the turn, and called Lybaert's 11,500-bet.

The {9-Spades} river saw Palumbo check. Lybaert shoved all in to put Palumbo to the test for his last 37,400 in chips. Palumbo tanked long and hard and eventually called.

Lybaert showed {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the nut low, the pot went to Palumbo who tabled {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for third-pair.

Lybaert never recovered from that blow, he busted not much later with {K-}{Q-} up against {A-}{K-}.
