On a heads-up flop of Q♠9♦8♦, Melih Mercanoglu checked to Connor Roche, who moved all in, covering Mercanoglu. 

Mercanoglu then went into the tank for close to a minute before he slid out his stack to put himself at risk. 

Mercanoglu tabled 9♠10♠ for a pair and a gutshot, but was well behind the K♠Q♥ of Roche with top pair. 

Roche further improved to trips on the Q♣ turn, but the river was the miracle J♦ to give Mercanoglu the straight to award him the pot for the double. 

Mercanoglu - 230,000
Roche - 95,000
