Monster Pot for Melert
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Shane Melert raised in the hijack to 600. The small blind called while the big blind decided to raise to 3,000. Both players called.
The flop came 2♣9♠2♥. Checked to the aggressor, the big blind continued for 3,000 getting two callers.
The turn brought the J♦ slowing down the original raiser as both blinds now check to Melert who took the lead with a bet of 7500. The small blind got out the way while the big blind elected to see a river.
Once checked to for a final time, the 7♦ allows Melert to shove all in for 11,800. After minutes in the tank the big blind eventually hero called with the A♣9♥. Second pair was no good against Melerts K♣K♠ as he raked in nearly a full double up.
