Melissourgos and Alcindor Chop One
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Christopher Alcindor opened to 600,000 under the gun and Dimitri Melissourgos came along from the big blind.
On the K♠10♠6♥ flop, Melissourgos check-called a bet of 500,000 from Alcindor.
The 5♣ turn checked through to the 3♥ river which saw Melissourgos lead for 1,000,000, and Alcindor called after a minute's tank.
Dimitri Melissourgos: A♦K♣5♠3♠3♣
Christopher Alcindor: A♥Q♦J♦10♦7♣
Melissourgos rivered a set of threes for the high while Alcindor made the call with his seven low, good enough for half the pot in the first meaningful confrontation since dinner.
