Mermelstein vs Reason
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Ben Reason is seated directly to Aaron Mermelstein's left and it seems that they've been avoiding each other most the day. But we just found them locked up in a hand with Reason on the button. There was around 10,000 in the pot heading to the river with the board showing 
.
The river came 
, Mermelstein bet 4,500 after a long thought process and Reason took some time of his own to consider his action. He tossed in a call, Mermelstein tabled pocket eights and Reason rolled over 
for top pair and stacked the pot.
