Mermelstein Puts Dent in Moriarty
Level 28
A-5 Triple Draw
Aaron Mermelstein opened on the button only to see Ryan Moriarty three-bet out of the small blind. Mermelstein responded with a four-bet which his opponent quickly called.
Moriarty took two on the first draw to Mermelstein's one. Action then checked to Mermelstein who bet and called after Moriarty raised.
The second draw saw Moriarty stand pat and bet after Mermelstein took one. Mermelstein made the call to send action to the final draw.
On the final draw the same drawing pattern was repeated after which Moriarty checked. Mermelstein bet, sending Moriarty into the tank. After some time, he made the call but mucked after Mermelstein tabled 7x6x3x2xAx.
