Mel Judah picks up chips

Mel Judah, who was sitting on 2475 during the break having not wanted to add-on, picks up some chips on the button. Some action pre-flop between the cutoff and Mel results in a pot that is just over 600 in chips. Flop comes {2-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}, cutoff leads out and bets, Mel calls. Turn is a {8-Diamonds} and again the cutoff leads out and bets and Mel calls. River is a repeater {4-Clubs} and the cutoff bets 475. Mel thinks about it and calls. Cutoff turns over {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and Mel shows {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} for the flush. Mel is now up to 5500 in chips.

Rebuy Tournament Scheduled Too Early?

A couple of the Aussie pros were joking that they wished the rebuy tournament was scheduled a little later in the week. They want the deep pockets of all the American pros to pad the prize pool. Most of the Las Vegas pros will be arriving in a few days.
