Armanavicius Can't Find a Fold; Palma in the Mix
Gabriel Castro made it 1,700 from middle position before Damiano Zicca three-bet to 4,200 from the hijack. Top ten stack Liutauras Armanavicius called from the small blind and Castro also put in the extra chips.
Zicca continued for 6,700 on the Q♣8♥4♣ flop and only Armanavicius called. Zicca then sized down to 5,000 on the 4♠ turn, and was called by his opponent once more.
Armanavicius checked for a third time and went into the tank after Zicca put in his last 14,000 on the 10♣ river. Armanavicius mulled over his options before making a one-chip call.
Zicca tabled A♠A♣ for a pair of aces, besting Armanavicius's A♦Q♦.
Nick Palma is also at the table and has already added to his starting stack shortly after taking his seat. Can the American put in a deep run at one of his favorite stops of the year?
