Nick Palma

After a flop of 9h9c8d, Nick Palma got it all in under the gun for 51,000 with AsAc, but he needed to improve to stay alive against the Jc9s (trips nines) of Mike Chiappetta. Palma prepared to exit by putting his sneakers back on.

But the turn card was — the Ah.

The river card was the 3h, and Palma won the pot with his full house to double up in chips.

Michael Graffeo

Event 6 was in the perfect position to draw a big crowd on a Sunday evening; bigger buy-in with a big guarantee running alongside Day 2 of the Event 1 restart. It saw 160 entries into the two-day $1,100 NLH tournament including a lot rolling their Event 1 cash into the game.

Day 1 came to an end with 23 players remaining but only 20 of them will make some money this afternoon. Abbey Daniels and Nick Palma were two players to take advantage of the schedule when both cashed in Event 1 and in line for a possible cash in this one.

Three-time SHRP Hollywood champ (and 2017 WPTDeepStacks Main Event winner) Mike Graffeo leads the return with a very talented group trying to chase him down.

The first goal for the return is to make the money then work their way to the final table and eventual champ who is set to earn $41,050.

Cards go back in the air at 2 pm with 40-minute levels until they reach the final table. Blinds will be 3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante and the average stack is 139,000 (28 bb).
