Mello On the Rise

Stewart Morrison

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Allan Mello opened to 4,000 in the hijack, and both Jose Valerio on the button and Eduardo Pires in the big blind called.

All three players checked on the J♠9♦8♥ flop, seeing the Q♦ turn join the board.

Pires checked for a second time, prompting Mello to put 7,500 into the middle.

Valerio looked interested, but ultimately chose to fold. Pires quickly followed suit, and Mello pulled in the pot.
