Seelen Smacks the River to Stun Corbella
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Martins Mellens bet 40,000 from under the gun on a flop of 9♥7♣K♣ and Robert Seelen called in the cutoff. Serra Corbella then moved all in for 165,000 in the big blind, and Mellens folded, but Seelen quickly called.
Serra Corbella: 9♦7♦
Robert Seelen: K♥10♥
Corbella had flopped two pair against Seelen's top pair and was a favorite to double up as the 2♥ fell on the turn, but the 2♠ river gave Seelen a higher two pair to send Corbella to the rail.
