Two Players Sent Out the Door Immediately

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

After Jeff Hill was the first to exit here on Day 2, Zane Palmer, the short stack coming in to today, followed him out the door in 64th place.

It happened after a player had opened for 6,000 and Jason Zarlenga three-bet to 13,500. Action reached Palmer in the big blind, and he moved all in for 23,000 or so. The original raiser folded and Zarlenga made the call.

Palmer: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Zarlenga: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop was kind to Palmer as it gave him the lead with two pair, but Zarlenga picked up a Broadway draw. The {J-Hearts} turn gave Zarlenga a bunch more outs, but it'd be the aforementioned straight that would come in when the {10-Spades} spiked on the river.

"I was grateful to get a king-queen there," Palmer told a friend after the hand.
