From $120 to $100,000; Mellon's Run Comes to an End

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Phillipp Mellon
Phillipp Mellon

Players were already heads up and on the 10♦5♥8♥ flop with a pot of around 80,000. Phillipp Mellon was in middle position and against Sergio Martinez Gonzalez in the hijack.

Gonzalez had just re-raised to cover Mellon's stack and action was on Mellon to make the call for his tournament life. He picked up his remaining chips and committed them to the pot, having his entire 620,000 stack at risk.

Phillipp Mellon: K♦10♥9♦8♣All in
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: J♠10♠10♣4♣

Mellon had flopped two pair, but Gonzalez had the rest of the tens and was looking at the set.

There was no help for Mellon on the 4♦ turn and the 2♥ river saw to his elimination.

Mellon had made a good run to get his seat in today's tournament as he satellited in all the way from a $120 PLO Turbo tournament, but his time came to an end mid-way through Day 1.

Jason Koon raised from under the gun for Eelis Parssinen to defend the big blind and the latter checked the 10♠5♥3♥ flop. Koon continued for 30,000 and Parssinen called, then checked the 4♥ turn with Koon checking it back.

Jason Koon opened the action with a raise to 18,000 from the hijack and was called by Ian Matakis in the next seat as well as Sergio Martinez Gonzalez in the big blind. On the A♣7♣2♦ flop, Martinez Gonzalez checked and Koon continued for 25,000 to pick up two calls.

That led them to the 10♦ turn on which only Martinez Gonzalez check-called Koon's pot-sized bet of 137,000. Both active players checked the 7♥ on the river and the A♦J♣5♦3♥ of Martinez Gonzalez won the pot.
