Mermelstein Sends "Aces" Out with Aces
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
British poker legend Simon "Aces" Trumper just received the most ironic of eliminations from the Main Event after he moved all in for his last 70,000 and found a customer in Aaron Mermelstein.
Simon Trumper: 
Aaron Mermelstein: 
The board ran out 
, and while it's far from the first time the man has been eliminated by his nickname, it's likely a rarity that it's happened to him in the Main Event.
Meanwhile at a nearby table, former Main Event final tablist Kenny Hallaert was seen heading toward the payout desk.
