Mermelstein Forced to Chop With Gryko

Level 29 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Richard Gryko raised to 1,050,000 in middle position and Aaron Mermelstein three-bet to 3,300,000 in the big blind. Gryko used a few time banks before moving all in, and Mermelstein called for his last 500,000.

Aaron Mermelstein: AKK9 All in
Richard Gryko: AK97

Mermelstein was ahead with his kings as the flop came JQJ, but the 10 turn improved both players to a straight. The river was the 3 and they chopped the pot.
