Rich Goes Bankrupt

In the first few moments of the day, Colin Rich moved all in preflop for his last 20,800. Billy Sukkar called from the cutoff and action folded over to Roger Palazzo in the big blind. Palazzo tanked for a few minutes and then said, "I call!"

The flop came down {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and Palazzo immediately moved all in. Sukkar asked for a count and found his stack was well-covered by Palazzo's. Sukkar mucked.

Showdown:
Rich: {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Palazzo: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

When the turn was the {10-Diamonds}, Sukkar slammed his hand on the table and let everyone know he held {A-?}{K-?}. The river was then the {8-Spades} eliminating Rich from the tournament.

Sukkar dropped to 57,000 and Palazzo took over the top of the leaderboard with 180,000.
