Vang Bluffs Melander Out
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
We found Todd Melander deep in the tank against an all-in wager from Kou Vang. The Mid-States Poker Tour team pro was all in for what looked to be a bit more than 11,000, and Melander double-checked and recapped his cards as he continued to tank. He shrugged and finally folded after a couple of minutes. Vang tossed 
into the middle for a missed combo draw.
At another table, Iowa native Jeff Fielder has hopped into the tournament.
