Meladze's Huge Over Bet Gets Paid

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Merab Meladze

With only 20,000 in the middle on the completed board of J?8?3?10?K?, Merab Meladze bet 70,000 from the big blind, which put Giuliano Bendinelli in the blender for a couple of minutes.

Alex Peffly and Fabian Rolli were stunned with the drama developing on the table, with Peffly telling a PokerNews reporter "It is as bonkers as it looks!"

Bendinelli ended up making the call and was despondent to see Meladze had the stone-cold nuts with A?Q? to make Broadway. Meladze has been creating huge pots all day, and PokerNews will be keeping a close eye on his table.
