Melanson Puts the Pressure On

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Dustin Melanson
Dustin Melanson

Sebastian Proulx opened in middle position to 2,000. He got called on the button by Nelson Miguel before the action was on Dustin Melanson who put in a three-bet to 7,000. Both players called.

The Q97 flop checked through to a 7 turn and Melanson put his foot back on the gas with a bet of 9,000. Only Proulx called on the button.

The 7 hit the river giving any pair a boat. Without thinking for too long, Melanson moved all in having his opponent covered. Proulx went into the tank but eventually he found the fold and Melanson dragged a healthy three-bet pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was a cutoff open to 2,500 before Soufiane Bakas called on the button. Joshua Silverman called from the small blind and the big blind defended.

Four-ways to a 77Q flop. The action quickly checked through to a 9 turn. Silverman led for 5,000 from the small blind and only Bakas called on the button.

The 9 river landed which double-paired the board. Silverman slowed down and checked before Bakas checked it back.

Silverman showed down KQ for top pair and Bakas mucked.

Hagan Shows the Goods

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Antoine Jallon opened in middle position to 2,000 before the action moved to Malachy Hagan in the small blind who opted to put in the three-bet to 6,500. Jallon called and they were off to a flop heads up.

The 10K5 flop landed and Hagan continued for 6,000. Jallon called.

The 2 landed on the turn and the action slowed down and checked through to a 9 river. After a moment in the tank both players eventually found a check.

To the tables surprise, Hagan was not three-betting light and was actually getting trappy with red aces. Jallon couldn't beat the toppest of pairs and his cards found the muck.

Dinh Gets the Double

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was opened under the gun to 3,000 before the action folded to Chuong Nguyen Dinh in middle position who took a moment and then moved all in for his remaining 19,000. It folded back to the opener who smiled and sat in tank for a moment before eventually putting in the chips to put Dinh at risk.

Chuong Nguyen Dinh: QQ All in
Under the Gun: 99

The full board ran out J8K5K and the pair of queens held for Dinh to earn him a pure double.

Xu Puts in the Limp Three-Bet

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action folded to Yang Xu in middle position who limped before there was a limp on the button. The small blind folded and then the action was on the big blind who put in the squeeze to 8,000.

It was then back on Xu who took a moment and then calmly put in the warm three-bet to 20,000. Both players essentially snap folded to the very strong action and the pot was pushed to Xu.

He now sits on a very healthy top-five stack.
