Weisner Suddenly Flush With Chips

Melanie Weisner
Melanie Weisner

Melanie Weisner flatted a raise from late position, and Alexander Petersen squeezed all in from the big blind. It was about 180,000 total, and that was enough to fold the initial raiser. But not Weisner. She made the call for a good chunk of her own stack, and she was well ahead and looking for the knockout.

Showdown
Weisner: {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Petersen: {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

Weisner had to sweat it the whole way on the {7-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} board. In the end, though, her hand held strong, and that knockout moves her up all the way up to 550,000 and well above the chip average. She's running hot in the last couple levels today after nursing her short-to-middling stack through the bubble.
