Melone Shoves the River in Lengthy Pot
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of J♦6♣Q♦ and around 35,000 in the pot, a player in the small blind bet 21,000 and Michael Melone called in the cutoff.
The turn was the Q♠ and the small blind checked to Melone who bet 26,500. His opponent called and checked again on the 3♠ river.
Melone took several minutes before he moved all in for 45,000. "I guess you had to go all in at that point, huh," his opponent said as he then tanked for nearly five minutes.
He eventually folded and Melone took down the pot without a showdown.
