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 {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and was behind Fabian's {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. 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.

Gaurav Raina Busts TJ Thondup

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Gaurav Raina was heads up with the board reading {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and his TJ Thondup bet 9,900. Raina took a moment to decide his next move. He asked Thondup what he had behind and Thondup lifted his hands to give Raina a clear view of his remaining stack — it was about 17,000.

Raina called. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Thondup checked. Raina went all in and had Thondup covered. Thondup took some time to decide and tablemate Keith Lehr called the clock.

"He took longer on the turn," Thondup said.

Lehr said he was about to call the clock on him too, but didn't get the chance.

Shortly after that, Thondup called and Raina showed him two aces, {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, which was the winner. Thondup's hand was mucked and not shown.

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

The river was the {6-Diamonds} and the small blind and Java both checked. The button bet 6,000 and the small blind called before Java shoved all in for 17,700. The button folded and the small blind tanked for a while before folding as well.
