Big Stax 300 (Day 1A): Brain Damage

Level 2 - Blinds 75/150

It's going to take something out of the ordinary to get all the chips in with over 200 big blinds, and that's exactly what just happened at Table 68.  After Michael Wert (defending Big Stax 300 winner) called a players raise pre-flop, Joe Palma three-bet, and watched as both players called behind.  The flop came out 5♥ 5 J♣, and Michael Wert raised Player X's flop bet to 6,300.  Palma shipped his stack in and after Player X folded, Wert instantly called and tabled Q 5.  Wert asked Palma, "What do you have....aces?" Palma said he was in even worse shape as he turned over Q Q (leaving him one out for the win).  The player that goes by "Worm" found his miracle on the turn, as the remaining queen hit the felt.  To his dismay though, the case five would hit the river, and we would see two players hit one outers.

Wert vaults himself to one of the larger stacks in the room with just under 75,000, but we know that it's still very early (but a little separation never hurts).
