The Poker Masters 2026 series unfolds in the renowned PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino, attracting many star-studded players to Event #2: $10K NLH. The tournament saw a total of 84 entries, swelling the prize pool to $840,000.
Palma, donning a Scarface-themed shirt, entered the final day as the second in chips among the remaining five players, demonstrating a determined style of play.
Palma advanced to the heads-up as the chipleader, facing off against six-time WSOP bracelet winner Adrian Mateos. The duel lasted over two hours, featuring several lead changes.
The decisive moment came when Mateos pushed his remaining stack with A d 9 c, and Palma called with A h 6 h. The flop A c 7 h 5 d gave both players a pair of aces, inching Mateos closer to doubling up. However, the turn 4 c offered Palma a straight draw, which he completed on the river 3 h.
“WHAT’S IT LOOK LIKE, BROTHER?!?!”
