Melkersen Sacked

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship

Melkersen's Extended Coffee Break

Mike Melkersen (New Market, VA) puts his last 40k all-in with A9 against the AJ of Gil Sacks. The board runs clean for Sacks and Melkersen is out.

"I played bad all day," said Melkersen, who finished 4th ($44,000) in the Championship Event of the 2010 Borgata Summer Open. "It's nice when poker works out the way it's supposed to."

Certainly a better perspective than the players who try to justify a bad play and blame the deck.
Melkersen is one of the many Championship Event casualties who are taking a crack at Event 24.
