Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
With a little over 130,000 in the middle and the board reading Q♠10♠3♦9♣, Hakim Zoufri led out with a bet of 55,000 in the big blind. Nicholas Palma shoved all in for 159,000 in the cutoff and Zoufri quickly called.
Nicholas Palma: Q♥9♥
Hakim Zoufri: 10♥9♦
Both players turned two pair but it was Palma with the big advantage. The river was the 8♦ and Zoufri was forced to pass over a healthy chunk of his stack.
