Palma Doubles After Roller Coaster Runout
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Marc Alonso opened to 6,000 from middle position and action folded around to Nick Palma in the big blind.
"6000? What is this, 2003?" Palma asked his opponent. He took a few seconds to stare down Alonso before moving all in for 29,000. Alonso snap-called with a covering stack to put Palma at risk.
Nick Palma: A♠A♥ 
Marc Alonso: Q♠Q♥
The flop came A♦10♦K♥ giving Palma top set but Alonso a gutshot straight draw. Palma commented that it was a bad flop for him just before the J♥ turn gave Alonso the lead with a Broadway straight. Things looked grim for Palma until the 10♠ river paired the board giving Palma top full house to score a full double up through his opponent.
