Mello Spikes Three-Outer to Double
Level 17
: 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Allan Mello was all in and at risk against the bigger-stacked Nazar Buhaiov.
Allan Mello: Q♣2♠
Nazar Buhaiov: K♠10♥
The flop of 8♥10♠6♦ gave Buhaiov a virtual lock on the hand as he paired his ten and Mello needed a queen to survive. He didn't get it on the J♦ turn, but the Q♠ sent his rail into a frenzy as he earned the last-minute double to stay alive.
