Palma Calls Off Tournament Life With One Second on the Clock, Then Reaps the Rewards
In a single-raised pot with a flop of 3♣5♠J♠, Nick Palma checked from the blinds and Jonathan Elfa Sanvicens bet 30,000. Palma called.
A 4♣ on the turn drew another check out of Palma and again Sanvicens bet, this time with a sizing of 80,000. Palma called.
When the 7♦ landed on the the river, Palma checked for a third time and Sanvicens wasted no time in betting 700,000, which left Palma with a decision for his remaining 550,000. One by one, Palma used up his remaining time-extensions and with one second remaining before his hand would be declared dead, he tossed in a single chip which signified a call.
"Did you say call?" said Sanvicens.
Indeed, Palma had called and Sanvicens reluctantly turned over A♣K♠ for just ace-high, then Palma confidently tabled J♥7♥ for a rivered two pair, which earned him a double-up.
