Melnyk Flushes Kings Down the Drain
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Liubomyr Melnyk decided to go all-in from the button for his final 190,000 and was called by Serhii Popovych in the big blind to go to a showdown with Melnyk at risk.
Liubomyr Melnyk: J♥10♥
Serhii Popovych: K♦K♣
Popvych held a commanding lead as they headed to the runout, but the 7♥8♠3♥ flop gave Melnyk plenty to work with as they went to the final two streets.
The 6♣ kept Popvych in the lead, but the 5♥ river resulted in a flush for Melnyk to crack Popvych's kings to stay in the tournament.
