Potashnick checked the 
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 
face up. After much deliberation, Potashnick made the call, with Mello covered.

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