Mermin Takes Some Off Huang
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Luke Mermin moved all in for 172,000 from middle position and chip leader Joe Huang called from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded, and the cards were turned on their backs.
Mermin: 
Huang: 
Mermin held the better ace, and he held strong on the 
flop. The 
turn was dangerous as it gave Huang a flush draw, but it proved a moot card as it was followed by the 
river.
