Palevic Scores a Double Elimination
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
While the tournament director was stopping the clock to randomly break a table with 64 players left, Ben Jackson under the gun with 160,000, Antonio Asaro in the cutoff with 240,000 and Rifat Palevic in the big blind who had them covered moved all-in preflop.
Ben Jackson: K♠K♣
Antonio Asaro: 7♦7♠
Rifat Palevic: J♥J♣
Jackson was on his way to triple up, but Palevic flopped a full house on 8♥8♣J♠ to take the lead. The 10♥9♣ runout changed nothing and Palevic eliminated both of his opponents.
