Meli and Schulze Check It Down
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Vincent Meli opened for 50,000 chips from the hijack and was three-bet by Sebastian Schulze in the cutoff, for a total of 125,000.
Meli made the call once the action folded back to him, and a 5♥2♠8♣ flop fanned out. Meli checked and Schulze followed suit, after which they did the same on the 5♠ turn.
The players followed the same recipe on the 6♣ river, and Meli tabled A♠J♠ for ace-high. Schulze also played ace-high but had the better kicker with his A♥Q♥, which won him the small pot.
