Table 2 Hands #4-5: Palmer Triples on River
Hand #4: From the button, William Tonking opened for a min-raise to 240,000 and Maximilian Senft called from the big blind to see a flop.
Senft checked and Tonking bet out 300,000 which was enough for him to collect the pot.
Hand #5: From under the gun, Dan Smith opened to 270,000 and Scott Palmer moved all in for 685,000 from the next seat over. With the action on William Pappaconstantinou a few seats over, he called along with Smith.
The dealer spread a flop and both active players checked. The turn brought the and Smith bet 750,000. Pappaconstantinou folded and the remaining players' cards were tabled.
Smith:
Palmer:
With Palmer in bad shape and needing to spike an ace to stay alive, the dealer delivered the on the river to grant Palmer's wish of a much needed triple to 2.37 million.
