Melkonyan Spikes A King To Stay Alive
After Aubin Cazals limped on the button, Gurgen Melkonyan moved all in for 188,000 from the small blind. Marvin Rettenmaier then three-bet all in over the top, which drove Cazals from the hand.
Showdown
Melkonyan: 
Rettenmaier: 
Melkonyan was behind, but not after the 
flop paired his king. The 
turn left Rettenmaier in need of an ace on the river, but it was not in the cards as the 
peeled off.
