Palevic Gives Up On River
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Julien Ghezala opened to 16,000 from the cutoff, and Rifat Palevic defended the big blind.
Palevic check-called in the face of continuation bet of 12,000 from Ghezala on the K♠8♦4♦ flop, leading to the 7♠ turn.
Palevic changed approach, leading out with a bet of 31,000, but was met with a raise to 76,000 from Ghezala. After quite a bit of thought, Palevic called.
The 2♠ hit on the river, and was quickly checked through. Palevic instantly sent his hand to the muck, and Ghezala took a chunky pot without having to show.
