Nick Palma moved all in on the button for 105,000 and Michael McNeil called out of the big blind. It was a flip for Palma’s tournament life with his 4d4s up against McNeils’ Ah9h.

“Do the right thing dealer,” said Palma as the dealer was beginning to burn and turn.

The flop was Kd5s4h and Palma flopped bottom set to leave McNeil drawing slim. The turn was the Th, which gave McNeil some outs with the nut flush draw.

The river was the Kh, which gave McNeil his flush, but Palma filled up to secure the double.

“They didn’t know that I have all the heart,” said Palma after the hand.

Nick Palma – 215,000 (26 bb)
Michael McNeil – 550,000 (68 bb)
