Aaron Mermelstein was all in for his last 90,000 from the button as Ryan Hoenig put him at risk in the small blind.
Hoenig had A♠A♥9♣7♣ and improved to top set on the turn as the board came 8♣9♦3♥A♣. Mermelstein instantly threw KxQ♠Qx8x across the table into the muck and didn't even wait to see the 2♥ river, as he was sent to the rail in 17th place.
