Zhao Doubles Through Mermelstein
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action picked with Gang Zhao all in, as the board read 10♥7♣5♣A♣ and he was quickly called by Aaron Mermelstein, which put him at risk.
Gang Zhao: J♣9♣ 
Aaron Mermelstein: 5♥7♦
Drawing very slim, Mermelstein was not able to boat up through the Q♠ river, and Zhao found himself with double the chips he had before the hand, while Mermelstein’s stack dwindled down towards starting.
