WSOP APAC Bracelet Winner Looking for More Success at Crown Melbourne

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Back in October, Scott Calcagno topped a field of 250 to win the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific Event $4 AU$1,650 No-Limit Hold'em Terminator for AU$61,250 and a gold bracelet. It was a career achievement, but he's no doubt hoping to add an Aussie Millions Main Event title to his résumé.

In a recent hand, there was 6,000 or so in the pot and a board reading {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs} when a player in middle position checked to Calcagno, who thought for a few moments before doing the same. After the dealer burned and turned the {2-Hearts}, the middle-position player bet 2,400 and Calcagno just called. When the {Q-Hearts} completed the board on the river, both players returned to checking.

The middle-position player showed the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a missed flush that turned into top pair, but it was no good as Calcagno rolled over the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for an overpair.

"I'm sure you were check-raising the flop?" Calcagno asked. He received an affirmative answer, and had that happened, this pot could have been much bigger than it turned out to be.
