Buganim on the Wrong Side of the Ultimate Cooler
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Dorian Melchers is on fire!
Amit Buganim made it 70,000 from under the gun and Melchers three-bet to 210,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Buganim, he shoved, and Melchers snap-called for his stack of 1,390,000.
Dorian Melchers: A♠A♣ 
Amit Buganim: K♥K♦
Melchers was on the right side of a huge cooler, but there was still a runout with five cards to come where anything could happen.
Fortunately for Melchers, nothing did happen as his aces held up on the 6♦10♦5♥J♣4♣ runout, which sent his stack soaring.
