Nicholas Palma raised 655,000 in the small blind and Vladas Tamasauskas raised all-in from the big blind. Palma had 25,000 behind and made the call.

Nicholas Palma: A?8?
Vladas Tamasauskas: 6?6?

It was a coin flip but the 6?5?5? flop didn't leave much of a sweat as Tamasauskas flopped a full house. The board completed with the 2? on the turn and the A? on the river as Palma exited the tournament.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

It's digestion time on Table 2, as action is very slow so far. In one hand, the chip leader of the table, Vladas Tamasauskas, opened to 120,000 from the cutoff and received a call by Eric Sfez in the big blind.

On the flop 4?5?3?, Tamasauskas made a continuation bet of 110,000 and was called once again. On the turn 10?, Sfez took the lead and bet 175,000. Tamasauskas waited a few seconds and eventually folded.
