Level 18
No-Limit Hold'em
Oleksii Kovalchuk opened to 25,000 on the button and action folded to Maurizio Melara in the big blind, who contemplated his options for a bit before deciding to stick his last 130,000 into the middle. Kovalchuck called and hands were revealed.
Maurizio Melara: A?6?
Oleksii Kovalchuk: J?10?
Melara held a slight lead, but the J?3?3?8?10? runout left Kovalchuk best with jacks-up and Melara was knocked out in eighth place.
