Hoy Cuts Melsom Short
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Ben Hoy raised to 1,000,000 from the small blind with the A♣J♦ while Erlend Melsom had the Q♣9♣ in the big blind and defended.
The flop came 3♠J♥9♥ to pair both players. Hoy fired 1,000,000 and was called.
The turn was the 4♠. Hoy bet 3,000,000, Melsom called again to go to the river which was the 7♠. Hoy moved all in for 3,625,000 and Melsom took a few moments before he called with the inferior pair to give a large pot and chip swing to Hoy.
