Palma Doubles Up

Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nick Palma moved all in for his last 27,000 from under the gun and was called by Rainer Kempe one seat over.
Nick Palma: 10?9?
Rainer Kempe: 8?8?
"Classic flip" joked Palma as the cards were turned on their back. The 4?2?9? flop vaulted Palma into the lead as Kempe was left looking to make a set to score the knockout. The Q? turn changed nothing with the 2? river completing the board to hand Palma a small double.
