Robinson Scoops a Big One; Nearly Even in Chips

Rocco Palumbo opened to 85,000 and Nelson Robinson called from the big.

The flop came {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Robinson checked, prompting a 95,000 bet from Palumbo. Robinson then raised to to 245,000 and Palumbo made the call.

Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} turn, however, Robinson would fire out for 345,000 on the {6-Hearts} river. Palumbo called and Robinson flipped over {J-Hearts}{5-Spades} for jacks and fours. Palumbo mucked and Robinson scooped the sizable pot to get nearly even in chips.
