Hjelmstad Catches Melton Making a Big Shove
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Around 10,000 was in the pot as three players went to the turn on a board of 8♠5♣A♦4♣. Billy Melton then moved all in from middle position and Eric Hjelmstad called for 59,500 in the cutoff, while the rest of the table got out of the way.
Melton showed A♣4♥ for two pair, but Hjelmstad had 5♦5♠ for a set. The river was the 10♣ and Hjelmstad doubled up.
"Ouch," Melton said as he handed over the pot.
