Melo Gold

Fatima Moreira de Melo
Fatima Moreira de Melo

JP Kelly opened for 750 under the gun but soon gave it up to a 1,975 reraise from Fatima Moreira de Melo and a four-bet to 4,200 from the gentleman in the cutoff. De Melo called the re-reraise to her reraise, and they were heads up to the flop.

Flop: {7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

De Melo checked to her opponent, who bet 5,400. The expressions on their respective faces were de Melo - intense stary outrage; her opponent - innocent dopey nonchalance. De Melo made the call.

The facial expressions remained the same as they checked down the {3-Diamonds} turn and {5-Clubs} river, and de Melo's opponent turned over {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Triumphant, de Melo flipped {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

"Why did you try to bluff me?" she demanded, but got no reply from her opponent - just a chunk of his stack instead.

Former Olympic gold medallist in field hockey de Melo was up to 83,000 after that.
