Palma: KhKc
Calderaro: As8s

Palma had a big hand, Caldo picked up a spade draw on the Js7c2s flop but the Jh turn and 8h river sent the double to Palma.

On the next hand, Palma opened to 80,000 and Calderaro moved all in for 105,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Palma called.

Palma: KcJc
Calderaro: JhJd

Calderaro was way ahead but Palma picked up a flush draw/gutshot royal draw on the AcQc8d flop. The 8h turn changed nothing but Palma hit the 9c river for the club flush to send Calderaro out in 10th place while setting the Main Event final table.
