Melton Doubles Up with "The Robbi"

Frank Visser

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On a flop of J♦10♠4♦, all of big blind Charles Melton's 700,000 remaining chips went in the middle in a pot of around 450,000, with Harsheel Kothari being the one to look him up.

Charles Melton: J♠4♥
Harsheel Kothari: Q♠J♥

Melton had flopped two pair, while Kothari was trailing with just one. Kothari did not hit a second pair when the board bricked out with the 3♦2♣ runout and Melton doubled up.

"That's the Robbi, right?" a tablemate asked. Melton answered affirmitive; "That's the only reason I played it!"

Tyler Foran

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Anirban Das raised 125,000 in early positon and Gabi Livshitz three-bet 425,000 in the small blind. Das called.

The flop came 7♠7♦4♠, and Livshitz continued for 250,000, which was called by Das.

When the Q♠ hit the turn, both players checked.

Livshitz got back on the gas pedal when the 3♣ hit the river, splashing a bet across the line. Das made the call, and Livshitz pulled back his bet a bit too quickly as the dealer was unsure of how much it was. Livshitz released the chips in his hand, and the dealer counted 675,000 Livshitz Q♣Q♦ was face up.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Joshua Payne and Pei Li built a pot of nearly 2,000,000 heading to the river on a completed board of 2♥3♦Q♠7♦6♣. Payne, in middle position, checked over to Li who fired out 1,100,000.

"Golly," Payne said as he began tanking. He eventually grabbed the chips to call and held them in his fist as the clock continued to tick away. He then asked tablemate Matthias Auer to put a timer on him.

Payne ended up folding what he claimed was queen-ten and Li showed him A♣K♣ for just ace-high.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Danny Grogan opened to 120,000 from under the gun and then called after Andrew Neeme moved all in for his last 805,000 from middle position.

Andrew Neeme: 7♠7♥
Danny Grogan: 10♥10♦

Neeme was in rough shape and did not get any immediate help on the K♦K♠Q♦ flop. The 9♥ turn left Neeme needing to hit a seven on the river but instead it was his opponent who improved, finding the 10♠ to send Neeme to the rail late on Day 5.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ryan Casaly opened to 140,000 in early position and was called by the hijack. Ryan Tosoc three-bet to 390,000 in the cutoff and Casaly four-bet shoved all in for 2,105,000. The hijack folded and Tosoc quickly called to put Casaly at risk.

Ryan Casaly: J♥J♦
Ryan Tosoc: Q♥Q♦

The board ran out K♣K♦7♣J♠3♥ and Casaly found a jack on the turn to double-up through Tosoc, dropping below average for the first time today.

Frank Visser

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ludovic Geilich raised to 120,000 from early position before Yu Tang jammed all in for 1,410,000. The action then folded to Amit Makhija in the big blind, who tanked for a while before reshoving with the covering stack.

Geilich folded and the other two showed down.

Yu Tang: A♣Q♥
Amit Makhija: 10♥10♦

It was a classic flip, and when the board remained free of aces and queens on 9♣9♦K♣4♥2♦, Makhija was declared the winner.

Yu awaited his payout and left the tournament area shortly after.
