"No Guts, No Glory"; Melia Comes From Behind to Double Off Stazys
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Gerrard Melia moved all in for 7,400 from under the gun, Airidas Stazys reraised to 15,000 in the hijack, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Gerrard Melia: A♥Q♥ 
Airidas Stazys: A♣K♦
"Show me some hearts. Who's got a bigger heart," Melia yelled out as the flop came 9♥Q♦9♦, giving him two pair and the lead. Melia couldn't watch the rest of the board and buried his head in tablemate Michael Kane's shoulder as the 8♠ fell on the turn. The river was the 4♦.
"It's a king," Kane joked with Melia, who still hadn't looked at the board.
"You said it was a king," Melia replied once he realized he had doubled up. "No guts, no glory. See you at the final table," he added while collecting the pot.
