Vengrin Forces Fold from Melnikow

Alex Melnikow opened with a raise to 8,000 from under the gun before Matt Vengrin reraised to 23,000 on the button. Melnikow made the call.

They took a flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Melnikow led at the pot with a bet of 28,000 before Vengrin announced he was all in for around 130,000 in total.

Melnikow went into the tank and eventually made the laydown as Vengrin took a healthy pot to move to 245,000, with Melnikow was down to 195,000.
