Melsom Holds With Aces
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Erlend Melsom raised to 2,000 from middle position and Mateo Gabivet three-bet to 6,000. Nicolas Coppini four-bet to 16,000 from the big blind and Melsom moved all in for 32,400.
Gabivet folded and then immediately called time on Coppini, who made his decision before the floor needed to act. He called and players flipped their cards, with Melsom at risk.
Erlend Melsom: A♦A♠ 
Nicolas Coppini: A♣K♥
The board ran out 5♥J♥4♣2♥J♣ and Melsom held with his pocket aces to win the pot, doubling his stack.
