Iati Doubles Through Palma in Dramatic Fashion
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Rocco Iati open-jammed a stack of around 2,200,000 from the hijack and Nick Palma re-shoved on the button with a slightly larger stack.
Rocco Iati: A♥K♣
Nick Palma: 10♠10♥
"My favorite hand," Palma said as the cards were flipped.
The flop of 2♥5♦5♠ kept Palma ahead with tens and the 5♣ turn improved him to a full house. But the 5♥ river put quads on the board and Iati erupted in celebration as he doubled up with ace-high against the ten-high of Palma.
