"One" Plays It Slow
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Vincent Meli made the minimum raise of 30,000 from the hijack and "John One" called from the big blind. On the subsequent A♥5♣10♦ flop, Meli continuation-bet for 25,000 chips and "One" check-called.
The 5♠ turn and 8♦ river were then knuckled down by both players. "One" was first to show and tabled A♠5♥ for a turned full house.
Meli could only smile as he showed his 2♥2♣, claiming that he was happy a deuce did not arrive on the river.
