John Palmer won an event in this exact format earlier this year, but although he made a deep run here in the Fall Classic, his quest for the repeat ended in 12th place.
Maxime Heroux opened the action with a button raise to 200K and Palmer instantly raised all-in, not hesitating although Heroux had him covered by a wide margin. There was no hesitation on Heroux’s part either, as he instantly pushed forward a stack of 25K chips to make the call.
Heroux: 
Palmer: 
Heroux was relatively safe with his pair facing only one over card, and the community cards that were dealt 
gave him the hand.
12th place: John Palmer, $1,750.00
