Aaron Mermelstein was down very early in this heads-up match before doubling the stacks back to even. He’s just put himself in a hole once again, though.

The most recent pot began with Alex Foxen raising to 300 on the button, and Mermelstein defended his big blind. The flop was 4c3h3s. Mermelstein checked, Foxen continued for 300, and Mermelstein check-raised to 750. Foxen called, and the turn was the Ac. Mermelstein bet 1,000, and Foxen called. The river was the 7c, and Mermelstein bet 1,500. Foxen moved all in with the covering stack, and Mermelstein surrendered his cards into the muck. Foxen won the pot with no showdown, taking a lead of nearly 4:1 here in the first level.

Alex Foxen – 19,050
