Weisner's Woes

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Melanie Weisner
Melanie Weisner

Melanie Weisner was all in for her last 200,000 or so (it was hard to see from our angle) against Ivan Freitez' {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. She turned over {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Freitez declared he wanted a flop of "ace, king, king for my lady...my friend."

Instead the dealer put out a board of {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and despite Freitez's pleas on the turn for an ace, king or queen, none was forthcoming. He moves up to about the 1 million mark.

Sarah Grant spoke with Melanie about this hand and her love of the EPT.
