Palma Wins One, Loses One

Tyler Foran

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vladas Tamasauskas opened 8,000 in the hijack and Nicholas Palma defended the big blind.

Both players checked to the 10♥6♥6♦9♣ turn where Palma led out for 15,000 and Tamasauskas called.

The 2♠ completed the board and Palma bombed 48,000 across the line. Tamasauskas let it go.

The following hand:

Alex Keating opened the cutoff for 10,000 and Palma three-bet 42,000 from the small blind. Keating made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of A♣J♦7♠, and Palma continued for 20,000. Keating made the call.

The 10♦ fell on the turn and Palma checked before Keating continued with a bet of 55,000. Palma took about 15 seconds before giving it up.
