We pick up the action with the board reading Spade 9Heart 9Diamond 5Heart 7 on the turn. John Gilliam bet 13,000 from middle position and WPT Champion Club member Aaron Mermelstein (pictured) tanks for about a minute before he calls.

The river card lands the Club 2, Gilliam bets 25,000, and Mermelstein moves all in for 65,000.

Gilliam snap calls, Mermelstein tables Diamond KDiamond 9 for trip nines, but Gilliam tables Spade 5Club 5 for the flopped full house, fives full of nines, to eliminate Mermelstein.

John Gilliam – 103,000 (103 bb)
Aaron Mermelstein – Eliminated
