Mermelstein Off to Rocket Start

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Aaron Mermelstein, who registered at the start of the day and had taken the seat of the busted Brendan Loftus, was on the button and involved in a pot against Yaroslav Shkliar in the big blind.

Shkliar and Mermelstein had reached the river on the 3Q92Q board, with 51,000 already in the pot. Shkliar checked to Mermelstein, who settled on a bet of 33,000.

Shkliar did not need much time before he tossed in a call, but he sighed and mucked his cards when Mermelstein showed A5 for the nut flush.
