Meli Sent to the Rail
Nível 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Matei Lupascu raised 30,000 in middle position, and Maria Konnikova called next to act before Samuel Fournier three-bet 125,000 on the button. The 2023 UKIPT champion Vincent Meli deliberated for a few moments before pushing his last 102,000 across the line from the big blind, and both Lupascu and Konnikova got out of the way.
Vincent Meli: K♣2♣
Samuel Fournier: 9♦8♦
Meli was ahead with his king-high, however, the Q♥8♣4♥ flop gave Fournier a pair of eights to take the lead. The 3♦ turn and 7♠ river were no help as Meli stepped away from the table.
