Level 12: 1,000/2,000 and a 2,000 big blind ante
Players Remaining: 108 of 422

There was a three-way pot developing after the player in the small blind moved all in for 17,000, but Lisa Costello folded under the gun after a reraise from Aaron Mermelstein (UTG+1).

The small blind turned over 5h5c, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Mermelstein’s 9s9c.

The board came KsKd9dJh6d, and Mermelstein flopped a full house to win the pot and eliminate the small blind. (Costello said she folded a king, and it sounded like she said it was king-jack.)

Aaron Mermelstein  –  318,000  (159 bb)
Lisa Costello – 125,000  (63 bb)
