Melsom Chips Up Through Hoy
Level 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.
