Melnikow Doubles With Rockets

Jonas “Nebuchad” Danielsson opened with a raise to 3,400 from the cutoff position before Alex Melnikow re-raised to 11,000 from the big blind. Danielsson made the call.

They took a flop of {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and Melnikow led out with a bet of 8,000 which was called by Danielsson.

The {6-Clubs} landed on the turn and Melnikow fired out a second bullet worth 20,000. Danielsson again made the call.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and Melnikow moved all in for his last 29,800 in chips. Danielsson thought for a moment before making the call. Melnikow tabled {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} for the flopped full house to take down the monsterous pot to elevate himself to over 130,000 in chips!
