Set of snowmen double up Mermelstein


Having just lost a pot against Yao Hui, Aaron Mermelstein was back in a hand, this time against Jun Javalera and Aso Seitaro. On a flop of J A 8, Seitaro bet 1300, Javalera called, Mermelstein shoved his 10k in the middle, Seitaro called, while Javalera folded. Seitaro had A Q for top pair but was behind Mermelstein’s 8 8 set. The turn of 10 and river of 7 were no help to Seitaro and Mermelstein doubled up.
