Meldrum Takes Hit From Brinckley

Matthew Brinckley raised to 1,500 from under the gun with Andrew Meldrum making the call in the small blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Meldrum checked to Brinckley who fired 2,500 into the pot. Meldrum then check-raised making it 6,500 to go, but that didn't deter Brinckley who swiftly moved all in.

It was an extra 9,575 to Meldrum but he decided to release his hand and wait for a better spot. Meldrum slips to 24,500, with Brinckley now heading in the right direction with 26,500 chips.
