Melchers Stacks Salerno
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Elia Salerno opened from under the gun to 13,000 and Dorian Melchers three-bet to 40,000 from middle position. When the action got back on Salerno, he shoved for around 220,000, and Melchers quickly called.
Elia Salerno: J♠J♥ 
Dorian Melchers: Q♦Q♣
Salerno was at risk with his pocket jacks and needed to improve to stay alive. A flop of K♥6♦9♠ didn't offer him much in the form of assistance, and the 7♥ turn left him with just one shot at two outs. Neither of those outs appeared on the 8♠ river, and Salerno was eliminated.
