Massive Chip Lead Flip
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Sergei Gurin opened to 325,000 from middle position before the action folded to chip leader Dustin Melanson on the button who three-bet to 850,000. It then folded back to Sergei Gurin who put in a four-bet to 1,800,000. It was then on Melanson who took a moment and then moved all in. Gurin called.
Sergei Gurin: A?K?
Dustin Melanson: A?K?
It was looking like a chop until the dealer peeled the J?K?2? flop and Gurin was free rolling. The Q? turn was a blank but the brutal 10? river gave Gurin the flush and the double for the chip lead. Melanson took a hit but still sits in the top five.
