Mike Melkersen - 4th place$43,592
On the last hand of the level, Billy O'Neil raised to 150k from the small blind. Mike Melkersen moved all-in from the big. Billy asked for the count (620k on top) then made the call.
Mike's AJ offsuit was ahead of Billy's Q♣4♣, but the flop was a killer: K♣T♣3♣, giving Billy the flush. Since Mike had no club in his hand, it was all over.
Mike Melkersen finished in 4th place, earning $43,592.
Mike is a 35-year-old attorney and father of two, originally from Maryland, but living in Harrisburg, VA. He's cashed four times at the WSOP, but this is his first cash in a major event at Borgata. His greatest accomplishment outside of poker: "Marrying my best friend who prevents me from becoming the degenerate gambler I am".
After that hand, the final three took a ten minute break, then resumed play with blinds of 40k/80k and 5k antes. Here are their chip counts:
Billy O'Neil - 4.34 million
Mirza Nagji - 3.3 million
Todd Geddis - 1.99 million
