Held Keeps Firing

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ara Melkisetian raised to 80,000 before Justus Held, in the cutoff, three-bet to 210,000. Action folded back to Melkisetian, who called to see the {8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop.

Melkisetian checked and Held bet another 110,000. Melkisetian called as the {a-Clubs} fell on the turn.

He checked again, and this time Held fired out 190,000. "That saved me," Melkisetian said as he folded.
