River Rescues Asghar but Busts Mellon
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
"All-in and a call on Table 2," cried the dealer. When we arrived at the table, we discovered that Asmat Asghar and Liam Mellon had committed their stacks preflop as the money bubble approached.
Mellon: K♣Q♣ 
Asghar: Q♠J♦
The dealer fanned the 10♥K♦4♦ flop before he placed the 10♠ on the turn. Asghar must not have fancied his chances at this point because he rose from his seat. However, he promptly sat down when a Broadway-completing A♥ appeared on the river, which kept Asghar in the Main Event, but sent Mellon home.
