Rifat Palevic - 5th Place

We've been waiting to say "Rifat Re-pots" all day, but Rifat Palevic hasn't had enough chips to re-pot. He did have enough chips to open for pot (140,000) from the button. Sorel Mizzi was in the small blind and *he* was the one who re-potted. Dan Hindin folded the big blind, giving Palevic space to call all in.

Palevic: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

Mizzi:

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

Each player made two pair on a board of {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

, but Mizzi's aces and treys were better than Palevic's aces and deuces. Palevic is eliminated in 5th place, collecting $86,516, while Mizzi's stack continues to grow.
