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 4QJ 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 AQJ5 for a flush as Foxen mucked his hand in response.
