Melchers Wakes Up With a Monster to Bust Tian
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Dorian Melchers raised to 80,000 in middle position and Jakub Koleckar three-bet to 250,000 in the cutoff. Mengshi Tian then moved all in for 455,000 in the big blind and Melchers reshoved for around 900,000, chasing away Koleckar.
Mengshi Tian: Q♦J♦
Dorian Melchers: K♠K♣
Tian had run into Melchers' kings and found no help on the 5♣4♣2♦ flop, but the 6♦ turn gave him a flush draw going to the river. He couldn't connect with the 9♠ river and Melchers took the pot to send Tian to the rail.
