Level 23
Blinds 10000/20000/3000
Players Remaining 5
Nick Palma opened the action to 35,000 on the button and was immediately three-bet by Dan Chalifour from the small blind to 100,000. James Frangoulidis folded from the big blind and action was back on Palma. He wasted little time in pushing out two stacks of red for a four-bet to 235,000. Chalifour quickly called and they were heads up to the flop.
[Qh][6h][8c]
Both players opted to check and would see the [Ac] on the turn. Chalifour again checked but Palma would not be giving any more free cards. He put out a bet of 130,000 and was quickly called. The river was the [4s] and Chalifour would check one last time. Palma announced all-in and Chalifour was visibly frustrated. He dropped the chips he was shuffling in his hand and sat back in his chair trying to review the action in the hand. After a few minutes he asked Palma if he would show if he folded and Palma said yes.
After another minute or so he released his cards into the muck and Palma tabled the [Qd][Qs] good for a flopped top set.
Palma now sits on over 1,300,000 chips as he takes a commanding chip lead over the rest of the table.
