Shark Attack! Palma Devours Gabdullin's Jack-Ten with All-In Bite

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jose Valls Rebollar made it 900 from the hijack and Damir Gabdullin three-bet the cutoff to 3,000. Nick Palma was on the button and pushed all of his 18,500 chips into the middle while holding a stuff shark toy and repeating "The shark is coming, the shark is coming,".

Rebollar got out of the way, and after a few moments contemplating, Gabdullin stuck in the call.

Nick Palma: JJ All in
Damir Gabdullin: J10

Gabdullin didn't like what he saw and didn't pick up much hope with the 4Q2 flop, which left him needing to hit running cards to eliminate Palma. However, the 410 runout locked up the pot for Palma, who celebrated with his shark toy.

"Yum, yum, yum," said Palma while his shark toy went on a feeding frenzy with the chips he just won.

"This guy thinks he can KO me with jack-ten? I flew here for this. He calls with jack-ten? I mean I'd swim here for this!" Palma continued.
