Melsom Chips Up Through Hoy
Niveau 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Action started with an open from Ben Hoy in the cutoff with A♣8♠. Erlend Melsom called in the small blind with A♦4♦.
Melsom flopped the nut flush on 10♦8♦2♦, but checked to the preflop raiser. Hoy threw in a chip for 500,000 with his middle pair and Melsom called.
The turn came the 6♥. Melsom now decided to lead for 1,300,000. Hoy called.
The river was the 4♥. Melsom now bet 3,500,000 into a pot of 5,400,000. The call would be for a bit over third of Hoy’s chips. After some thinking, Hoy was able to make the fold and the chunky pot went to Melsom, who took the chip lead.
