Erlend Melsom Doubles Up Through Kelopuro

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

PokerStars player Erlend Melsom found himself under the gun when he open shoved and just picked up the blinds and antes. In the very next hand the action folded around to Sami Kelopuro in the small blind. In the previous orbit he open shoved and Melsom folded and this time Kelopuro did it again but with a different result. Melsom looked down at his cards and figured {k-Diamonds} {j-Spades} was good enough and he made the call.

Kelopuro{a-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Melsom{k-Diamonds} {j-Spades}

The flop was clean for Kelopuro when it came down {3-Spades} {5-Spades} {7-Diamonds} but the {j-Diamonds} on the turn pushed Melsom into the lead. Kelopuro needed an ace on the river but instead got a {q-Spades} and Melsom survived.

Melson ~ 610,000
Kelopuro ~ 985,000
