"Overpair" is Relative

From under the gun, a player raised to 3,200 and was called by both Michael Palermo and Adam Schwartz on down the line. The three-way flop came out {3-?} {3-?} {2-?}. The raiser checked, and Palermo bet out all in for 17,700. Schwartz made the call, and the third man ducked out of the hand.

Palermo: {7-?} {7-?}
Schwartz: {8-?} {8-?}

Palermo was caught in a bad spot, and the turn and river -- {2-?} and {10-?} -- did nothing to improve his plight. After running into a bigger pair, he heads for the door.
