Rocco Palumbo Doubles Through Russell Thomas

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

With a massive pot of about 80,000 already brewing and the board reading {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Rocco Palumbo was in the big blind and facing a decision for his stack against Russell Thomas, who had put 85,000 chips into the middle. Palumbo had about 35,000 behind and went into the tank for several minutes.

Ultimately, he called and flipped over {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for fives full which was good enough to win the pot against Thomas who showed {A-Spades}{J-Spades} for a missed flush draw.
