Sandretto's Bites a Big Chunk Off Melnyk

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Casey Sandretto, under the gun, and Liubomyr Melnyk had already built a 120,000 pot when the flop dropped 3Q5.

Sandretto fired 55,000, and Melnyk raised it to 185,000. Sandretto, took a significant time thinking what to do next. In the end, he went beyond and made it 420,000. Without hesitation, Melnyk went all-in for 1,480,000. Sandretto, covered just by a little, snap-called.

Casey Sandretto: 55 All in
Liubomyr Melnyk: Q3

Melnyk had flopped a two-pair but was beaten by Sandretto's set. The table watched the hand with excitement, as it was a battle of the biggest stacks on the table. Melnyk still had outs which may eliminate Sandretto and put him into one of the chip leads of the field but the dealer peeled a 8 turn and a 10 river.

It took sometime for the dealer to count the chips but eventually pushed most of Melnyk's stack towards Sandretto's direction.
