The player under the gun opened to 2,100, and Aaron Mermelstein three-bet to 5,600 on the button. Ian O’Hara cold four-bet to 16,500 in the small blind, and only Mermelstein called.

The flop was Th8s3s, and O’Hara continued for 17,200. Mermelstein called, and the turn was the 9s. O’Hara checked, Mermelstein bet 30,000, and O’Hara folded.

Mermelstein joined the field just before the first break, and his stack is showing an early upward trend.

Aaron Mermelstein – 140,000
Ian O’Hara – 75,000
