Meloni's Set Holds on Scary Board
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Carlos Alberto Mejia opened to 400 from middle position and received calls from Marco Meloni in the cutoff, James Navagh on the button and Gonzalez Benavent in the big blind.
Action checked around to Meloni who elected to bet 800 on the 6♠5♦4♦ flop. Navagh called while Benavent and Mejia got out of the way.
The turn came the 8♦. Meloni checked and called once Navagh bet 1,100.
Both players checked the 2♣ river.
Meloni tabled 8♥8♠ for a turned set which, despite it being four to a straight on the board, was good enough to take down a nice pot.
