Petrovic and Palevic Having Fun

Andre Petrovic and Rifat Palevic arrived at this tournament as friends, but that friendship is currently being put to the test as they trade blows just a few seats from one another. Here is an example of the type of hands the two are getting embroiled in.

We join the action on a flop of [Tc] [7d] [4s] and both players check. Fourth street is the [Js] and Palevic check-calls a 6,000 Petrovic bet. The river card is the [Jh] and Palevic fires out a meaty 20,000 bet. He doesn’t look at Petrovic. Instead he puts his earphones in and cranks up the volume. After a while he can’t help himself. He takes off his earphones, looks at Petrovic and shouts, "Play with me! Come On! Come on! I have ace-ace…I have ace-ace."

By this time Petrovic is looking redder than a radish and finally folds pocket kings, face-up. Palevic bursts out laughing but only shows the lone [Qd] before scopping in the pot.

Palevic ~ 65,000
Petrovic ~ 97,000
