Nick Palma Doubles Thru Nick Funaro

Nov 17, 2024

After a flop of Club ADiamond 7Diamond 5, Nick Palma checks the big blind, Nick Funaro bets 20,000 from the hijack, and Palma check-raises to 55,000. Funaro moves all in, and Palma thinks for a moment before he calls all in for 130,000 with Club QClub 7 for a pair of sevens.

Funaro turns over Spade ADiamond 10 for a pair of aces, and Palma needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn card is the Club 10, giving Funaro two pair, but Palma picks up a club flush draw.

The river card is — the Club 3. Palma catches a runner-runner club flush to win the pot and double up in chips.

“I feel marvelous,” says Palma. “I feel like the chipleader right now.”

Nick Palma  –  385,000  (26 bb)
Nick Funaro  –  1,780,000  (119 bb)
