Tsuchikawa calls Mermelstein down


Right after winning a hand against Ian Brion, Aaron Mermelstein three-bet Tetsuya Tsuchikawa’s raise of 2100 to 6500. Tsuchikawa called and the dealer felted 5 Q 8. Acting first, Mermelstein bet 5600 and Tsuchikawa called. On fourth street of 8, they both checked. Then on the river of 2, Mermelstein bet 8200 and Tsuchikawa called. Mermelstein showed his 9 6 bluff and lost to Tsuchikawa’s K Q pair.
