Aaron Mermelstein was in the big blind and faced the pot-sized raise to 350,000 by Biao Ding in the hijack, which he called. Mermelstein then pushed his last 520,000 in after the K♦10♠9♠ flop for Ding to reluctantly call.

Aaron Mermelstein: 9♥8♠6♠6♥ All in
Biao Ding: A♥A♣9♣8♣

The 8♥ turn gave both players the same two pair but the 2♠ river improved Mermelstein to a flush for the double.

"You nitrolled me with aces?" he asked and Ding shook his head in frustration.

"So many double-ups through me," Ding bemoaned and Mermelstein instantly exclaimed "you have been a good customer".
