Dustin Melanson's Pocket Kings Go Down in Flames

Dustin Melanson opens to 2,500 from middle position and Patrick Badiou calls from the hijack before Athanasopoulos Panagiotis three-bet shoves for 8,600 from the button. Melanson calls before Patrick Badiou re-shoves for around 45,000. Melanson, who is slightly covered, snap-calls and is also at risk.

Patrick Badiou:

Melanson is ahead with pocket kings but Badiou picks up the nut-flush draw on the flop. Melanson remains ahead on the turn but the river gives Badiou the nut-flush and he takes the pot while both opponents are sent to the rail.

Patrick Badiou – 95,000 (95 bb)

Dustin Melanson – Eliminated 

Athanasopoulos Panagiotis – Eliminated
