Mellino Gets there on Keller

On a heads-up turn, the board read J♦6♦Q♥K♥ when Cynthia Keller bet 90,000 after a check from Michael Mellino, but then Mellino check-raised all in for 158,000. 

Keller quickly tossed out a call chip and tabled Q♠J♠ for two pair. 

"Alright, I need a diamond or a ten," Mellino said as he flipped over A♦8♦. 

Sure enough, the 10♥ smacked down on the river to give him the straight and he was awarded the pot for the double while Keller was left on life support. 

Mellino - 423,000
Keller - 40,000
