Seated in the Cut-off, Stavros Melanitis opened to 140,000. In a heartbeat, Valeri Savov moved all in for 490,000 from the Button. Then, current chip leader Anass Chergui jammed for 4,840,000, effectively forcing Melanitis to go all in for 2,850,000.
Melanitis looked visibly agonised as he contemplated the call. “I have better than ace-queen,” he told Chergui, trying to get a read on his opponent. Eventually, he folded.
Valeri Savov: K♥Q♦
Anass Chergui: Q♥9♥
Savov had Chergui dominated, and as the board ran out 7♠K♣3♣10♦9♠, he received a full double-up.
Anass Chergui: 4,300,000
Valeri Savov: 1,100,000
