Hassan Nashar, a regular at Merit known for his eccentric play style, had just sat down when Yixi Tang open-raised to 2,500 under the gun.
Nashar then three-bet to 5,000 from the cutoff, and Damir Gabdullin four-bet to 25,000 on the button. Tang quickly got out of the way, but Nashar put his starting stack of 250,000 at risk. Gabdullin called, covering his opponent.
