Valy Fabian Makes Quads, Busts Mermelstein
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Aaron Mermelstein had 3,575 left and called all in for less after Valy Fabian three-bet. Gaurav Raina was debating whether to call Fabian's 7,000 raise and decided to fold.
Mermelstein showed 
and was behind Fabian's 
. He was even further behind on the flop and things only got worse from there as the board gave Fabian a set on the flop and quads on the turn.

and Nimer's opponent checked. Nimer lifted his hand to indicate he wanted a look at his opponent's stack. His opponent read that motion as a check and exposed the 
flop, and a player in the hijack made it 3,500 to go. Greenblatt called and then check-called 6,000 more on the 
turn. On the 
river, he checked again and his opponent instantly shoved all in for about 14,000. Greenblatt sighed in frustration and popped the corner of his cards up a few times before winging them into the muck.
and the big blind thought for about 30 seconds before he bet 7,500, leaving himself with about 6,000 behind. Zamani wasted no time in making it 20,000 to go and it seemed as though the big blind was instantly ready to fold. It took only about 20 more seconds to for him to complete the task and fold, giving Zamani the pot.
flop, TJ Thondup bet 1,800 against three opponents from early position. One player shoved all in for 23,625, giving a player on the button a long pause before he folded. Aaron Mermelstein snap-called it off for 22,025 in the big blind, and Thondup mucked.
