Glenn Becker

Glenn Becker was all in preflop for 800,000 on the button, and Aaron Mermelstein called to cover him from early position. The two players then tabled their cards.

Mermelstein: AcKd
Becker: QdQc

Board: AdJc5hJh3d

Becker was eliminated on the hand in 15th place, good for $48,397, and Mermelstein increased his chip lead to 7 million. Becker was the last player remaining that could challenge Nathan Papp for the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year lead, and now that Becker has been eliminated it appears that Papp has locked up POY honors (we will verify when this news becomes official).

Aaron Mermelstein – 7,000,000 (233 bb)
Glenn Becker – Eliminated in 15th Place ($48,397)
