Mello Can't Get There as Poccia's Set of Queens Sends Him to the Rail
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Allan Mello opened 1,200 in early position, and Marco Poccia three-bet 2,900 next to act. The action folded back around to Mello as he jammed for about 7,500. Poccia instantly called, and both hands were tabled.
Allan Mello: A♠Q♥
Marco Poccia: Q♠Q♦
The 7♠5♠3♣ flop gave Mello some hope with a backdoor flush draw but the Q♣ turn, and A♦ river improved Poccia to a set of queens to eliminate Mello from the tournament.
