Melkisetian Comes From Behind to Bust Matta
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Damir Zhugralin raised to 5,500 in the cutoff before Ara Melkisetian three-bet to 15,500 on the button. Serge Matta then moved all in for 45,000 in the small blind and Zhugralin folded. Melkisetian, meanwhile, tanked for about 30 seconds before calling.
Serge Matta: A?K?
Ara Melkisetian: A?7?
Melkisetian was dominated until the flop brought 7?5?2?, giving him top pair. The board ran out 3?5? and Matta was sent to the exit.
"Saved me. Ace-jack," Zhugralin told Melkisetian after the hand.
