Rifat Palevic Eliminated in 23rd Place (€46,100)
Yohan Rascar just put a brutal, brutal beat on Rifat Palevic to thin down the field.
Rascar opened from the hijack to 100,000 and Palevic three-bet the button to 260,000. When it got back to Rascar, he called.
They saw a flop of 9♥6♣4♣ and after Rascar checked, Palevic bet 300,000. Rascar called to see the Q♦ turn, where he checked it over to Palevic, who bet 700,000. Rascar took a peek at the stack of Palevic and seeing he had 1,000,000 behind, he shoved. Palevic snap-called.
Rifat Palevic: A♥A♦ 
Yohan Rascar: 10♥8♥
Palevic was well ahead with his aces and in prime position to double up. Rascar's semi bluff had one chance to earn a return on the hand, and he maximized his profit as the J♣ smacked the river to give him a straight, which ended Palevic's run in 23rd.
