Mellon Finds Flush
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alex Foxen opened to 11,000 from the hijack before Phillipp Mellon called on the button. Jason Koon joined with a call from the big blind to create a three-handed pot.
The flop came 4♠Q♦J♥ before Koon checked. Foxen continued for 19,000 and was called by both Mellon and Koon.
The 3♦ turn led to a pair of checks from Koon and Foxen. Mellon took the initiative with a bet of 56,000, which was called by both Koon and Foxen.
It checked over to Mellon on the 5♦ river. Mellon fired again, this time for 125,000. Koon tapped out with a fold, but Foxen made the call to go to a showdown.
Mellon rolled over A♦Q♣J♦5♥ for a flush as Foxen mucked his hand in response.
