Melone Shoves the River in Lengthy Pot

David Salituro

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.

Michael Noori and two other players were already all in preflop, with Noori having both of his opponents covered.

Early position: 9♦9♣ All in
Button: Q♠Q♥ All in
Michael Noori: A♠A♣

The 7♣8♥J♣ flop gave Noori a bit of sweat, but the K♦3♣ runout kept him best with aces and he scooped the large pot while sending both his opponents to the rail.

"First time I've been over six figures!" Noori said as he collected the pot.
