Palarino Doubles Through Owen
In a battle of the blinds, Jeffrey Palarino limped in and called a pot size raise to 60,000 by Adam Owen from one seat over. On the 
flop, Palarino ended up all in and at risk for 218,000 via check raise and Owen, who had him covered, caught a brief glimpse of Palarino's cards while they waited for the other tables to finish.
“Why did you even call? Palarino asked before the cards were turned over.
"That's pretty good," Owen smirked and that was not a good sign. Once the showdown proceeded, the following cards were turned over.
Jeffrey Palarino: 
Adam Owen: 
The 
turn improved Palarino to a straight, but now he had to fear hearts, as Owen had picked up a flush draw. A blank 
on the river ensured the double for Palarino and Owen was sent into the role of short stack once more.
