Babayev Spikes a Jack to Double Through Palma

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

It folded around to Nick Palma on the button who raised to 7,000 and Jake Schwartz folded his small blind. With the action on Emin Babayev in the big blind he moved all-in for 72,000 and Palma called.

Emin Babayev: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Nick Palma: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Palma had Babayev dominated and was in great shape to score the knockout but there was a jack in the window for Babayev on the {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. "There's a river card for a reason" said Palma but the {4-Hearts} turn and {9-Spades} river sealed the deal for Babayev who doubled up.
