Meli and Schulze Check It Down
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Vincent Meli opened for 50,000 chips from the hijack and was three-bet by Sebastian Schulze in the cutoff, for a total of 125,000.
Meli made the call once the action folded back to him, and a 5?2?8? flop fanned out. Meli checked and Schulze followed suit, after which they did the same on the 5? turn.
The players followed the same recipe on the 6? river, and Meli tabled A?J? for ace-high. Schulze also played ace-high but had the better kicker with his A?Q?, which won him the small pot.
