Palma Doubles Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nick Palma moved all in for his last 27,000 from under the gun and was called by Rainer Kempe one seat over.
Nick Palma: 10♥9♥
Rainer Kempe: 8♠8♥
"Classic flip" joked Palma as the cards were turned on their back. The 4♣2♥9♠ flop vaulted Palma into the lead as Kempe was left looking to make a set to score the knockout. The Q♦ turn changed nothing with the 2♦ river completing the board to hand Palma a small double.
