Mello Can't Get There as Poccia's Set of Queens Sends Him to the Rail
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Allan Mello opened 1,200 in early position, and Marco Poccia three-bet 2,900 next to act. The action folded back around to Mello as he jammed for about 7,500. Poccia instantly called, and both hands were tabled.
Allan Mello: A?Q?
Marco Poccia: Q?Q?
The 7?5?3? flop gave Mello some hope with a backdoor flush draw but the Q? turn, and A? river improved Poccia to a set of queens to eliminate Mello from the tournament.
