Mermelstein Cools Off Bonomo

Livello 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Justin Bonomo on the button who was about to make an action and the player in the small blind got up and walked away while still having live cards. The floor was called over and they confirmed for Bonomo that the small blind's hand was dead. He didn't wait long before announcing he was all in. Aaron Mermelstein was in the big blind and snap called.

Justin Bonomo: Q♥Q♠
Aaron Mermelstein: K♥6♣

The 6♠2♦A♦ flop seemed fairly safe but the 6♥ turn gave Mermelstein trips. The 10♣ landed on the river and Bonomo was sent to the rail.

Robertson and Gorodinsky Battle on the Bubble

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Mike Gorodinsky raised 17,000 from middle position, Joshua Robertson called from the cutoff, and Tony Lin called from the big blind, because, he said, "I'm not folding my big blind!"

A flop of A♦K♣5♣ was spread and Gorodinsky lead for 27,000, with Roberston calling and Lin smacking his cards on the table with a big smile before chucking them.

Gorodinsky gave up the lead on a 8♥ turn and Roberston grabbed a stack of red 5,000 chips worth 85,000 and pushed them forward, and Gorodinsky matched it.

Gorodinsky checked again to Robertson on a river 5♠, and this time Robertson cut out 125,000. Gorodinsky called, Robertson showed A♣K♦, Gorodinsky mucked and Robertson nearly doubled without risking going out on the bubble.
