Mermelstein Still on the Rise, Holcomb Out
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Hollis Holcomb was one of the shortest stacks left in the tournament and he shoved all in for 235,000 in the hijack. Aaron Mermelstein asked for a count from the cutoff and then splashed in a call. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were face up.
Hollis Holcomb: 
Aaron Mermelstein: 
The flop came 
with the ten in the window to give Mermelstein a huge edge. The 
on the turn left Holcomb drawing dead to the 
on the river as he was eliminated.
