Nosebleed regulars Scott “URnotINdanger2” Palmer and Patrik Antonius did battle Thursday at $500-$1,000 pot-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha on Full Tilt Poker. The short match ended with Palmer in the black nearly $200,000 against Antonius.
The largest pot of the session was a $352,000 monster, where all the money went on the turn with Palmer holding two pair plus flush and straight draws — leaving Antonius desperately looking for a miracle.
Here is a look at the hand:
The Scenario:
| Game/Blinds | Pot-Limit Omaha | $500-$1,000 |
| Player | Scott Palmer | Patrik Antonius |
| Stack Size | $303,472 | $175,996 |
| Hand | J 4 10 8 |
A 6 J 8 |
The Action:
The confrontation started when Antonius raised to $3,000 from the button. Palmer three-bet to $9,000, and Antonius four-bet to $16,000. Palmer called. The flop came 9 4 3, and Palmer checked.
Antonius bet $32,000, and Palmer called. The turn brought the J. Palmer bet $96,000 into his Finnish opponent. Antonius moved all in for about $130,000 total, and Palmer quickly called.
The hands were exposed, and it was revealed that Palmer had a strangle hold on the hand with his two pair and multiple draws. According to Card Player’s Omaha Odds Calculator, Palmer’s hand holds up about 88 percent of the time on the turn.
Both players elected to run it twice, and each time was of no help for Antonius. The first river brought the meaningless K, and the second run yielded a Q, giving Palmer a straight. The Maryland native raked in the $352,000 pot.
