4:10pm: In case you didn’t hear the screaming in Panama
In one of–if not the biggest–pots of the day, Bolivar Palacios got 1,485,000 all-in pre-flop against Max Lehmanski. The hands:
Palacios: A♣K♦
Lehmanski: T♠T♥
It’s always the river. Isn’t it? The first four cards were rainbow babies, but the river hit as the K♥. The normally laid-back and reticent Palacios exploded in a chorus of “Vammmmooooooooo!” and the like. Lehmanski is still in this thing, but now has less than a million. Palacios, meanwhile, moves into the top five. –BW
