Alistair Melville Eliminated By Jaspreet Panchhi

Alistair Melville raises to 9,000 from early position adn action folds around to Jaspreet Panchhi in the big blind. He asks Melville how much he has in his stack and Melville gives his chips a rough count before telling him he has around 70,000.

Panchhi tells the dealer he needs an exact count of Melville’s stack and the dealer starts to oblige. Allen Kessler is seated at the table and he and other players begin to object on Melville’s behalf, telling the dealer Panchhi can’t get an exact count unless Melville is all-in.

"It’s alright," Melville says. "I don’t care."

Panchhi eventually announces he is all-in, having Melville covered, and Melville calles. Panchhi holds [KsKc] and Melville trails with [QsQd]. The board runs out [10d10h7c2s7h] and the kings hold to take the pot and eliminate Melville.

Jaspreet Panchhi – 275,000 (92 BBs)
Alistair Melville – eliminated
