Meldrum Cracks Rockets

With the board reading {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Andrew Meldrum was in the tank contemplating the 7,000 chip bet from his opponent into an already hefty pot.

Meldrum asked how much his opponent had behind, and learned it was 8,000 before deciding to just flat call.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}, and Meldrum fired out enough to put his opponent all in. He sighed and made the call.

"Two pair," shrugged Meldrum, tabling {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

"I knew the river was bad for me," said his opponent as he revealed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}, before standing from his seat and exiting the tournament floor. Meldrum is now up over 70,000 in chips and looking good for a Day 2 standing.
