Meli Climbs the Counts With Rivered Straight

Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With around 9,000 chips in the pot on a flop of A?9?7?, Chase Wilson checked from the small blind and Vincent Meli bet 2,500 from under the gun. Wilson called.
A 10? on the turn was checked through to the J? river, where Wilson led out for 8,000, and Meli made a raise to 20,000. After thinking it over for a while, Wilson decided to call.
Meli then flipped 8?8? for a straight, and Wilson mucked.
