Aaron Mermelstein opened to 2,400 second to act, and Joseph Montervino defended his big blind.

The flop came Td8h6h, and Mermelstein continued for 2,000. Montervino check-raised to 6,000, Mermelstein moved all in for 24,700 total, and Montervino quickly called to put him at risk.

Mermelstein: QhJh
Montervino: 6d8d

Mermelstein was behind but had plenty of outs, and the Kc on the turn opened up three more for him. The river was the 8c, though, and Montervino eliminated the two-time WPT Champion with a full house.

Joseph Montervino – 58,300 (49 bb)
Aaron Mermestein – Eliminated
