Mermelstein Making a Run
Level 11
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On a heads-up completed board of 9?10?8?8?J?, Aaron Mermelstein bet the pot of 90,000 and the action was on his opponent, Andrew Ige, who went into the tank.
After a while, Ige made the call but was then shown A?J?J?6? for jacks full on the river and Ige quickly mucked.
"What is it with you today?" someone at the table joked to Mermelstein, who just laughed and shrugged as he stacked his new chips.
