Big Stax 500 (Day 1C): Worm Winds Up Doubling

Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Combined Entries: 721

Joe Palma (Bensalem, PA)
Joe "Worm" Palma (Bensalem, PA) is more of a fixture in the poker room than some of the chips, and it's clear that when he's standing up during a hand he is involved in, that he's likely all-in.  That was just the case at Table 46, the final player of three to put the chips in on the turn (and at risk):

Board: 9 10♣ 3 2

Palma: Q 4
Player X: 8♠ 9
Player Y: K 10

River: 5♠

Palma would have to fade a river diamond in order to win the hand, and once he did just that, he'd more than double up to 75,000.
