Massive Pot for Mello

Bruno Mello
Bruno Mello

Bruno Mello open raised from early position, and Steve Potashnick called in the big blind.

Potashnick checked the {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, and Mello shoved, putting out a big overbet for 285,000 into the 50,000 pot.

Potashnick went deep into the tank, exposing the {a-Hearts} face up. After much deliberation, Potashnick made the call, with Mello covered.

Bruno Mello: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Steve Potashnick: {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Looking for a heart to hit, Potashnick instead saw the {9-Clubs} come in on the turn, leaving him drawing dead to Mello's full house. The inconsequential {2-Diamonds} hit on the river, and Mello took in the 600k-plus pot.
