Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Ara Melikian opened to 13,500 from early position, and the table folded all the way around to the blinds. In the big, Joe Sweeney put his last ~35,000 chips into the middle, and Melikian quickly called with {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}. "How bad is it," he asked Sweeney. The two men have become friendly, and Sweeney tabled his inferior {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. "Oooh, I got your hearts, too," Melikian astutely noted.

The {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {10-Clubs} flop brought those hearts into play, but it was Sweeney with the leading pair of tens now. The turn {8-Clubs} was a blank, but the river {A-Spades} gave Melikian the pot and the knockout with top pair.

Sweeney is out with 38 players left.
