Boellis Shoves, Melkisetian Goes Deep in the Tank
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ara Melkisetian was in the hijack and bet 110,000 on a flop of 6?4?2?. Giuliano Boellis called in the small blind.
The turn was the Q? and Melkisetian put out 315,000. Boellis then moved all in for 1,710,000.
Melkisetian went into the tank for more than five minutes. A tournament official eventually warned him that the clock would soon be called.
Melkisetian was then given 30 seconds to make a decision. "Pass," he said with about 10 seconds left on his countdown as Boellis took down the big pot without a showdown.
