Palma Hero Calls King-High
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Nick Palma raised to 2,000 as first to act. Ran Shahar then three-bet his button to 5,500, which Palma called.
Shahar continued for another 5,500 on the A♦J♦2♣ flop. Palma check-called to the 2♥ turn, which was checked through.
Palma checked to Shahar for a third time on the 4♥ river. Shahar slid in a tiny bet of 3,000, about one-eighth of the pot. Palma thought for some time and then tossed in a call.
Shahar could only show six-high with 6♠5♠, while Palma had called him down with K♦Q♦ for king-high and took down the pot.
