There was around 6,500 in the middle on a board of 
in a heads up pot between Rifat Palevic in the small blind and a player who was under the gun. Palevic checked to his opponent, who put out a bet of 4,500. Palevic asked how much the player had, thinking for a bit before putting out a check-raise to 10,000.
His opponent then went into the tank and Palevic talked a bit more about how he had just thrown in a small raise. A friend of his had just walked into the room and walked by Palevic's table, prompting him to let his friend know that he was in a pot and had just put in a raise.

His opponent told him he only had kings with a little smile and Palevic confirmed he already knew that. The player found a fold after a few more seconds and Palevic took down the pot.
He lifted up his cards to show his friend and his opponent asked to see as well. Palevic told him he had a full house, kings full and began to laugh, changing his tune to say he showed his friend the

"I flopped a flush draw and turned trips," said Palevic. "That was why I checked to you on the turn - I knew you had the king," he added as he raked in the pot, bringing him close to two starting stacks in the process.
