Sometimes it's just not your day. Paul Torri moved all in from the button for a little over 100,000 at 6,000/12,000 blinds, and Nicholas Palma made the call from the big blind. Both players had the same hand, with Paul holding [Qs][8d] to Nicholas's [Qh][8h]. With the way Nicholas has been running, he joked to Paul that he had no chance at winning. The dealer fanned the [5c][5h][6h] to indeed give Nicholas a freeroll, and he wasted no time hitting his flush on the [3h] turn. Paul was drawing dead when the [2d] hit the river, and he will exit the tournament in 3rd place. Paul earns $9,480 for his efforts.
