Champ: Monster for Maio

$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack NLH  

On the turn with a board of J T 7 Q, Melad Marji (sb) bet 168k.  Anthony Maio (utg) called.

River was a 4.  Melad took his time, then put out a bet of 336k.

Anthony took his time, counted out the call, then counted his remaining chips -- he had about 200k left after the call.

Anthony stood up, agonizing over the decision, said "Either that was the sickest gutter-ball turn ever..." [apparently speculating Melad had AK and hit Broadway] or I'm good".

Finally Anthony said "I'm not good enough to fold....Call" and turned over pocket Queens for top set.

Melad got a sick look on his face, flashed his pocket Aces to Vitaly Kovyazin on his right, and mucked.

Anthony's up to 1.7 million.  Melad dropped to ~1.1 million.
