Melchers Wins a Flip Against Kotowicz
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Sebastian Kotowicz made it 60,000 to go from the cutoff and Dorian Melchers took some time before he shoved 680,000 out of the big blind. Kotowicz had around 900,000 in his stack and eventually made the call.
Dorian Melchers: Q♦J♦ 
Sebastian Kotowicz: 6♠6♥
It was a fair fight, and one that leaned in Kotowicz's favor as the 10♣A♥7♠ flop kept his pair of sixes in the lead. However, things swung in Melchers' direction on the turn as the J♣ gave him a pair and a firm lock on the hand.
Only a six on the river would see Melchers eliminated, but the 8♦ wasn't it, which meant he doubled up.
