Vaaraniemi Comes From Behind to Double Off Palevic
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Rifat Palevic raised to 240,000 under the gun, Elias Vaaraniemi moved all in for 810,000 in the big blind, and Palevic snap-called.
Elias Vaaraniemi: A♠7♥ 
Rifat Palevic: A♣10♥
Vaaraniemi found himself dominated and at risk of elimination, but the K♠7♣Q♣ flop gave him the lead with a pair of sevens. Palevic picked up a straight draw, but he missed the 3♠ turn and 2♣ river and was forced to hand over the double-up.
