Palmer Pains Schumacher Right Away
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
With the chips just fresh out of the bag, Beau Palmer and Johan Schumacher got into serious action right away. It was Schumacher who opened to 25,000 from under the gun. Palmer three-bet to 65,000 out of the small blind and Schumacher called.
On the 
flop, Palmer bet 130,000 and Schumacher came along with the call. Palmer wasn't backing down on the 
turn and moved all in for 301,000.
Schumacher held his hand before his mouth and stared at the board for minutes. He then seized up Palmer, trying to figure out the puzzle, and appeared to have a sizable hand for the situation.
After more than five minutes in the tank, Schumacher eventually elected to lay his hand down.
