Melancon Takes Pot with Nut Flush
Niveau 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
The tables aren’t full yet as players continue to make their way to their seat, but some players are adding chips to their stacks even in 4- or 5-handed play.
Phil Melancon is an example.
On a board showing K♥Q♦6♥J♣2♥, Melancon led out with a 4,000 bet. A player to his immediate left called by tossing out a 5,000 chip. The next player to act paused to study the board, then took a few moments to ponder the situation before eventually also calling.
Melancon tabled A♥8♥ for the nut flush. The other two players mucked their hands as the 13,000-plus pot was pushed to Melancon.
