Aces for Moreira De Melo

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Fatima Moreira De Melo
Fatima Moreira De Melo

Down to just 4,800 in chips, Fatima Moreira de Melo moved all in on the button and Anatoly Filatov called from the small blind.

Fatima Moreira de Melo: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Anatoly Filatov: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}

"Nooo!" laughed Filatov. "I like ace-high," the Russian said, but despite his best efforts there wasn't a sweat in sight for the Team PokerStars Pro: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and she doubled with ease.

Pollak Gets Value

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Benjamin Pollak (earlier today in the €100,000 Super High Roller)
Benjamin Pollak (earlier today in the €100,000 Super High Roller)

Arriving on the river with a completed board of {8-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}, [Removed:413] checked to Benjamin Pollak, who bet 7,500 in 18,000. The Frenchman, who just got off a fifth-place finish in the €100,000 Super High Roller (€445,300), let out a hearty laugh.

"You're gonna call me," he said with a grin, and Pautrot chuckled. Pautrot took some time and while the two countrymen shared some laughs along the way, a third player didn't found it all that amusing and called a clock after not even two minutes.

Mere seconds were off the clock before Pautrot called and Pollak showed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. It was good, as Pautrot mucked his hand.
