Palumbo Hits Big, Wins Big
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Rocco Palumbo opened the hijack and Mikhail Rudoy made the call from the big blind. The flop came 
and Rudoy check called a continuation bet. Both players checked the 
on the turn and the 
fell on the river. Rudoy bet out 93,000, around 70% of the pot Palumbo told us afterwards. Palumbo raised to 293,000 and Rudoy went into the tank. He thought long and hard and eventually got the clock called on him. With just a few seconds left he made the call, but he mucked upon seeing Palumbo's 
for the rivered straight.
Palumbo was up to 1.5 million after that hand, but lost some back in the two following hands and plays 1.4 million now.
