DiPalma Doubles

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Nick DiPalma
Nick DiPalma

Nick DiPalma limped and Todd Sanney Jr bumped it to 175,000.

Dipalma made the call, then checked the {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. Sanney led for 200,000 and DiPalma shipped it in. Sanney made the quick call with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and was well ahead of DiPalma's {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

However, the {a-Spades} turn and {5-Clubs} river changed everything as DiPalma made a miraculous wheel and doubled into a spot among the leaders, leaving Sanney to rebuild.

Todd Sanney Jr
Todd Sanney Jr

Todd Sanney Jr doubled up back into contention right after losing that massive hand to Nick DiPalma.

He flopped an open-ender against Alex Rivera's top-pair top-kicker, then made a bigger pair on the turn, got it in, and held.

Joseph D'Antuono made it 145,000 and Alex Rivera defended his big blind before checking the {10-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop.

D'Antuono led out, Rivera insta-shoved and D'Antuono beat him to the pot with a call, holding {10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

Trips held against Rivera's {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flush draw on the {K-Diamonds} turn and {a-Spades} river to send him out eighth.

David Battaglia pushed all in over a David Stevens button raise and Stevens called.

It was a classic cooler with Battaglia holding {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and Stevens on {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}.

No surprises came on the {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} run out and Stevens had to settle for seventh-place money.
