Melvin Jones Eliminated

Hand #52 -

James Akenhead has the button in Seat 9. Melvin Jones open-raises all in from middle position for about 445,000. Theo Tran calls. Everyone else gets out of the way. The hands are opened:

Jones: {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Spades}

Tran:

{A-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

Tran is out of his seat again. Jones has removed his sunglasses and is watching disinterestedly. The flop is {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

, giving Jones some wiggle room. The turn {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

means only a queen or ten can save him on the river. The river comes {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

, eliminating Jones in 7th place. He collects $158,211 for his efforts over the last several days.
