Lee & Melo Chop It Up After Break
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
On the first hand after the break, John Lee announced he was all-in for 145,000 from middle position. It folded around to Luciano Melo in late position, who announced he was also all-in for approximately 525,000. There were no other callers, so Lee was covered and at risk.
John Lee: A♦Q♠
Luciano Melo: A♣Q♣
With the same starting hands, an elimination always looked unlikely, and so it proved as the flop came 5♥10♣J♣, before 7♥ on the turn and the river of 6♥ completed the board. The pot was chopped.
