Melanson Puts the Pressure On
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Sebastian Proulx opened in middle position to 2,000. He got called on the button by Nelson Miguel before the action was on Dustin Melanson who put in a three-bet to 7,000. Both players called.
The Q♣9♣7♠ flop checked through to a 7♦ turn and Melanson put his foot back on the gas with a bet of 9,000. Only Proulx called on the button.
The 7♥ hit the river giving any pair a boat. Without thinking for too long, Melanson moved all in having his opponent covered. Proulx went into the tank but eventually he found the fold and Melanson dragged a healthy three-bet pot.
