Reed Escapes with a Double
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Robert Reed shipped all in for 685,000 in early position and Aaron Mermelstein called from the small blind. The big blind folded and the two hands were tabled.
Robert Reed: 
Aaron Mermelstein: 
The flop came 
and despite flopping a pair of nines, Reed had a sweat with Mermelstein holding a flush draw. The 
turn and the 
river were both bricks giving Reed a double up.
