Melnychuk's Ace-Kicker Good in Three-Way Pot
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Bashir Guliyev, Razvan Scutaru, and Denys Melnychuk built a pot of around 15,000 heading to the turn on a board of 10♣9♣6♦8♠ when Guliyev bet 5,000 from the hijack.
Scutaru called on the button, while Melnychuk also stuck around in the big blind. The river came the 5♠ and Melnychuk checked over to Guliyev, who this time checked back.
Scutaru also checked behind and showed Q♠10♠ for a pair of tens. Melnychuk turned over A♥10♥ for tens, ace-kicker and Guliyev mucked.
