Palevic Has the Better Two Pair
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Rifat Palevic limped the button, with Filippo Ragone completing from the small blind, and Alexander Hepting checking his option from the big blind.
Three checks followed the 2♥9♠7♣ flop to see the 3♥ hit the turn. Ragone checked, Hepting bet 150,000, and only Palevic called.
Hepting tossed out 250,000 on the A♣ river and Palevic quickly called. Hepting showed 10♣7♦5♦3♠ for two pair and lost the pot to Palevic's A♥8♥3♣2♠ for a higher two pair with aces up.
