Aaron Mermelstein min-raises under the gun to 80,000, Philippe Belley calls UTG+1, and Casey Yontz (pictured) calls form the big blind.

All three players check to the turn on a board of 9diamond6heart4diamondAheart, Yontz checks, and Mermelstein bets 175,000. Belley calls, and Yontz check-raises all in for a total of 1,080,000.

Mermelstein asks for an exact count and tanks for a long time before he folds. Belley thinks for a while himself before he folds, and Yontz takes the pot.

Casey Yontz  –  1,730,000  (43 bb)
Aaron Mermelstein  –  2,260,000  (56 bb)
Philippe Belley  –  2,070,000  (51 bb)
