Mermelstein Extends, Cal Reeling

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The two players at the top of the chip counts just tangled in a massive pot that ultimately extended Aaron Mermelstein's lead, and sent Calvin Anderson reeling.

There was close to 600,000 in the pot on a {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{k-Spades} board to the river, and Mermelstein led 450,000 from the small blind. Talking to himself about the flush draw getting there, Anderson made the huge call under the gun plus one, and was right, Mermelstein did not have the spades.

Instead, he had the {5-Hearts}{6-Spades} for the turned straight, and after Anderson's card hit the muck, the almost 1.5 million chip pot was pushed to Mermelstein.
