Nosebleed regular Scott ‘URnotIndanger2′ Palmer took down the biggest pot of his online poker career during a scintillating heads up battle with Patrik Antonius on the virtual felt on Monday.
The high stakes duo sat down for a lengthy session of $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha. Railbirds were treated to master-class in big pot exchanges as nine hands passed the $200,000 mark.
Palmer downed the record pot after three betting to $9,000 pre-flop. Antonius re-raised to $16,000 and the 21 year-old, Maryland native completed.
A 9s-4h-3s flop prompted Palmer to check and Antonius bet $32,000. Palmer called before leading out for $96,000 after the Jh hit the felt on the turn.
Antonius jammed all-in for around $128,000 and Palmer called before flipping over Js-10h-8h-4s for two pair with two flush draws and an open-ended straight draw.
Antonius was dominated as he tabled As-Jd-8d-6s for top pair with top kicker. The Finn was hoping for a miracle on the river as Palmer held a 90% chance of downing the colossal $352,000 pot.
They ran it twice but neither card helped Patrik Antonius. Scott Palmer completed flush and straight draws with Kh and Qd as he snared the spoils.
Antonius bounced back by winning the second biggest pot of the evening worth $261,000 after spiking a nut flush draw on the river.
However, Palmer ended the night in style after tabling a set of tens to snare a pot worth $233,000. The young online sensation has enjoyed a superb start to the calendar year and is currently on an upswing of over $1 million for 2011.
