Boellis Shoves, Melkisetian Goes Deep in the Tank
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ara Melkisetian was in the hijack and bet 110,000 on a flop of 6♣4♣2♥. Giuliano Boellis called in the small blind.
The turn was the Q♦ and Melkisetian put out 315,000. Boellis then moved all in for 1,710,000.
Melkisetian went into the tank for more than five minutes. A tournament official eventually warned him that the clock would soon be called.
Melkisetian was then given 30 seconds to make a decision. "Pass," he said with about 10 seconds left on his countdown as Boellis took down the big pot without a showdown.
