Palma Predicts Back-to-Back Bust Outs
Hand #1: Kevin Ha limped under the gun and action and Nick Palma limped behind in middle position. A few folds ensued before the small blind completed and the big blind checked. As the flop came, Palma predicted he was going to win a big pot. Action checked to Ha and he bet 4,000, receiving only a call from Palma.
Action was then heads up to the turn , bringing a second spade on board. Ha bet another 10,000 and Palma called. The river fell and Ha checked. Palma put him all in for 27,000 more and Ha thought for a bit before committing the rest of his chips.

Palma's prediction came true as he sent Ha to the rail with his set.
Hand #2: On the very next hand, Palma again predicted he would knock somebody out. He raised to 2,600 from middle position and got a call from the player on his left in the hijack and action went heads up to the flop . Palma checked and his opponent bet 3,500. Palma check-raised to 11,000 and his opponent called.
The turn came and Palma bet 10,000. His opponent went into the tank and after some time, Palma asked the player if he was Hollywooding him. Shortly thereafter, the player jammed for 30,000 and Palma quickly called.
All-In Player:
Nick Palma:
No eight came on the river and Palma scored his second knockout in as many hands, predicting both before they happened. He is now up to over 135,000.
