Mefodichev Scoops a Big One

Vladimir Mefodichev opened to 125,000 from under-the-gun and directly behind him, Neil Willerson three-bet to 255,000. Everyone else folded it back to Mefodichev, who made the call.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Mefodichev check-called a 350,000 c-bet from Willerson.

Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} turn, however, when the {4-Clubs} completed the board, Mefodichev checked again - prompting a 450,000 bet from Willerson. Mefodichev thought it over and then check-raised to 1.5 million total. Willerson reluctantly announced, "Call," and Mefodichev tabled {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a flopped set. Willerson dejectedly showed pocket queens and mucked.
