Three Barrels with Nuts for Palatzky
The biggest pot of the tournament so far went to Marc Palatzky, in a hand where he bet in three streets and got paid, when he showed the nuts.
The action opened with Andriy Lyubovetskiy opening to 60,000 from early position, while Palatzky called from middle position and Tobias Peters defended his big blind.
The flop came 
with Peters and Lyubovetskiy checking, however Palatzky bet 65,000. Lyubovetskiy was the only caller and they went heads-up to the 
on the turn. There, Lyubovetskiy checked again and Palatzky bet 200,000 this time, getting called again.
The 
completed the board on the river bringing a third consecutive check for Lyubovetskiy and a third bet in a row for Palatzky. This time he went big and bet 480,000 putting Lyubovetskiy in a difficult spot. He spent much time in order to decide and eventually another player called the clock on him. When the floor manager started counting Lyubovetskiy threw a chip in the middle to indicate the call and create a more than 1.5 million-chip pot.
Palatzky opened 
with the nut flush and Lyubovetskiy mucked his hand, to become the shortest of the final table.
