Vincent Russell:
Opponent 1:

Palivoda with Massive Stack After Three Way All-In

Nível 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The details of this hand were provided to PokerNews after the fact by players at the table.

After some betting, only three players stayed in the hand to see the flop, including Mike Palivoda. The flop put an eight and a ten on the board, and two hearts. One player moved all in for around 600,000, and the next rejammed for around 1,100,000. Palivoda made the call with both covered.

Opponent 2:
Mike Palivoda:

Palivoda was behind to both opponents, who had both flopped a set, but had outs with his over pair, and the backdoor nut flush draw. It was that draw that brought him the big pay day, as he hit runner-runner hearts to complete his flush and make the best hand.

Palivoda scooped the massive pot, and scored the double knockout at the same time. His stack is now as big, if not bigger, than anyone else's in the room. It took him the next few hands just to get his chips all stacked neatly.
