Bubble Continues; Fan Pressures Mermelstein

Brett Slezak

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There has been little action on the stone bubble so far as the seventh hand commences.

Aaron Mermelstein limped in the small blind before Changfeng Fan isolated to 20,000 from the big blind, and Mermelstein called.

On the Q♦3♠2♣ flop, Mermelstein check-called a bet of 8,000 from Fan.

Mermelstein then check-folded to an 18,000 bet on on 9♣ turn, prompting Fan to show the Q♥ as he scooped one.
