Ace is Good Enough For Whitehead to Take Massive Pot Off Melnick

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Gary Melnick and Nicholas Whitehead built a pot of around 90,000 as they went heads-up to the river with the board showing Q?8?A?6?9?. Whitehead then moved all in for 41,000 in early position.

"I'm worried you have two pair. I don't have two pair," Melnick said as he tanked for several minutes. "Okay, let's see it," he added, eventually deciding to call.

Whitehead turned over A?10? for top pair. "You got me," Melnick said, showing A?7? as he mucked. "There was too much money out there," he added after the hand.
