Ace on the Turn Keeps Melogno Seated
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After a series of raises Pablo Melogno was at risk for 134,000 and it was Alessio Di Cesare looking for the knockout.
Pablo Melogno: A?K?
Alessio Di Cesare: 10?10?
It was a classic race and the J?8?3? flop missed both players, but the A? turn gave Melogno the lead with a pair of aces. The 3? river changed nothing as Melogno could stay seated collecting his double up.
