Mike Melkersen (New Market, VA)
$22,759
Blinds 10k/20k/3k ante
Melkersen is down to 700k (35 BB) when he's all in against Chris Csik
Csik: A♥ 3♣
Melkersen: A♦ 5♠
Melkersen: A♦ 5♠
Csik flops a three to win the title with a pair of 3s.
"I got frustrated," says Melkersen, who earns the second largest Borgata cash of his career. "he was hitting everything and I didn't hit anything, but he played great and deserves it."
Melkersen began heads up play with a 6 to 1 chip lead, but Csik chipped away and was never all in and at risk heads up.
"He's very trappy," says Melkersen, "and I'm very aggressive. Those two usually don't work well together. I should've changed my game and put things on lock down."
