Jordan Meltzer

Jordan Meltzer raises to 35,000 from middle position, leaving himself with just 5,500 behind. The player in the cutoff moves all in for about 65,000 and action folds back to Meltzer, who calls.

They have to wait for the action at all of the other tables to finish before the hands can be turned up, but they verbally let each other know that they both have the same hand.

When the cards are turned up, Meltzer shows AdQd and his opponent shows AsQh.

The flop is KhJd4d, which gives Meltzer the freeroll with a flush draw. The turn is the 6h, changing nothing, but the river is the Td and Meltzer doubles up with the nut flush. Hand-for-hand play continues.

Jordan Meltzer – 88,500
