Melanson Gets the Triple
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Harlan Penn opened 70,000 in middle position and Paul Mattioda called on the button before Dustin Melanson came along in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 5?4?3? and Melanson fired 100,000. Both Penn and Mattioda made the call.
The 6? hit the turn and Melanson moved in for his last 5,000, and both players tossed in a chip to call.
When the 2? landed on the river, neither player made a bet and Melanson rolled Q?7?6?4? for a flopped straight. Penn tabled A?K?K?9? and Mattioda tossed his cards face down. The dealer let Mattioda know all hands must be tabled and she quickly flashed his hand before pushing the pot to Melanson.
