Palma Begins His Comeback
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
So far, It hasn't been smooth sailing for Nick Palma in Day 1b of the WSOP Europe Main Event. The American was down to 15,700 and had self-admittedly not won a pot all day.
His fortune looked to be changing after he opened to 1,600 from the cutoff and was called by Levan Rcheulishvili from the big blind.
Rcheulishvili check-called for 2,000 on the Q♥J♥3♥ flop which brought in the 9♠ turn. Rcheulishvili checked again and Palma moved all in for 12,100. Rcheulishvili thought it over for a few moments and called.
Nick Palma: A♣Q♣
Levan Rcheulishvili: Q♦2♣
Palma had the superior pair of queens and remained best after the 9♥ river to double up.
