Palmer Holds to Double Up
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn, with the board showing 9♣8♠Q♦A♦.
A player in early position bet out 15,000, and Aaron Palmer on the button responded with a raise all in for 53,500. After nearly a minute in the tank, the early position player made the call to put Palmer at risk.
Aaron Palmer: Q♥8♥ 
Early Position: 10♦9♦
Palmer was in front with his two pair but would need to fade the combo draw of his opponent, as well as the two remaining nines. He managed to do just that when the river brought the 5♣ to give Palmer the double up.
