Michael Aron limped in on the button and Michael McNeil folded from the small blind. Nick Palma checked his option from the big blind.

“He’s trapping me,” said Palma as the flop came Ah8s7s.

Palma checked and Aron bet 8,000. Palma check-raised all in for 44,000 and Aron called.

Aron showed Tc9c, good for an open-ended straight draw, had plenty of outs against Palma’s Jh8c.

The turn was the 8h, giving Palma trips and leaving Aron with just four outs. The river was the 5c and Palma doubled up with trips.

Nick Palma – 112,000 (14 bb)
Michael Aron – 275,000 (34 bb)
