Ace on the Turn Keeps Melogno Seated
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After a series of raises Pablo Melogno was at risk for 134,000 and it was Alessio Di Cesare looking for the knockout.
Pablo Melogno: A♥K♥
Alessio Di Cesare: 10♣10♥
It was a classic race and the J♣8♥3♠ flop missed both players, but the A♦ turn gave Melogno the lead with a pair of aces. The 3♥ river changed nothing as Melogno could stay seated collecting his double up.
