Melissourgos Puts Alcindor to the Test
Dimitri Melissourgos opened to 750,000 on the button and Christopher Alcindor called in the big blind.
On the 5♥2♠2♦ flop, Alcindor check-called a bet of 500,000 from Melissourgos.
The turn brought the A♥ and Alcindor checked once more to Melissourgos. He bet 1,200,000, which got another call.
On the K♠ river, Melissourgos emptied the clip, sizing up to 5,000,000, just under the size of the pot. A couple minutes would roll off the clock before Alcindor stuck in the call for over half of his remaining chips.
Dimitri Melissourgos: A♦A♣K♥7♥4♣
Christopher Alcindor: A♠Q♥6♥5♠3♠
Melissourgos turned top boat while Alcindor made a gutsy call with the second nut low, and he was relieved to see that Melissourgos did not have a wheel, so the pot was chopped.
