Melkisetian Says Goodbye to Two

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Two short stacked players were all in preflop as they were called by Ara Melkisetian who was looking for a double knockout.

Vitaliy Pankov: {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Anatoly Shteyn: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Ara Melkisetian: {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Melisetian started to say "Bye bye. Bye guys" to his opponents before the flop even came. It connected with his jack-four {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The turn was the {3-Spades} and the river was the {6-Spades} to indeed send his two opponents to payouts in the same hand.
