Melander Picks Off Wilson

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Todd Melander bet 1,800 from a middle position on a board of {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} against a few opponents. James Wilson made it 3,800 to go, folding out the players behind him, and Melander called. Both players checked the {9-Spades}, and a {j-Spades} river led to a Melander check. Wilson fired 5,500, and Melander sighed and shook his lead, leaning back in his seat. He decided to go ahead and call after thinking for a couple of minutes, and Wilson turned over {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, not near enough to best {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

Wilson is no stranger to deep runs at Mid-States Poker Tour events, having cashed three times in the past three months, including a second-place finish for more than $61,000, but he's behind schedule early after having his bluff picked off.
