Ara Melkisetian three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind before Recep Aydemir four-bet on the button to 42,000.

"Wow. I'm probably going to go all in," Melkisetian said as Aydemir hovered his chips over the table ready to call. Melkisetian spent a few moments shuffling his chips in his card as he considered the decision.

"What do you have, tens?" Aydemir asked.

"I have all in," Melkisetian said, shoving for 98,800.

Aydemir didn't call right away but did eventually commit the chips. "I have nothing, I swear," he reassured Melkisetian.

Ara Melkisetian: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Recep Aydemir: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Melkisetian hit top pair on the {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board and locked up the pot with the nut flush on the {j-Hearts} turn. The {9-Diamonds} river was a mere formality and Melkisetian doubled up.
