De Melo Wins Flip; Busts Next Hand

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Andre de Melo
Andre de Melo

Andre De Melo flipped with {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} against the pocket nines of Patrick Fletcher and doubled up to almost half a million in chips after the board ran out {8-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{K-Spades}{3-Spades}. Just one hand later, de Melo got his stack in again and this time he only had three outs. Sean Giesbrecht more than happily looked him up:

De Melo: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Giesbrecht: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The board came {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and the kings helped Giesbrecht into the overall lead, sending de Melo to the rail in 18th place.
