Level 1 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a three-way flop of 4♥9♣A♥, Gregory Shuda, in the big blind, bet 20,000 into the pot of 30,800 and was called by Aaron Mermelstein from under the gun. Gergo Nagy, in early position, thought about it briefly but decided to let it go and the two players went heads-up to the turn 7♦.

Shuda then bet the pot for 70,800 and Mermelstein decided to make the call and the duo saw the 6♦ fall on the river.

Shuda checked over to Mermelstein, who quickly checked back and Shuda tabled A♦A♣10♠5♦ for top set and his opponent quickly mucked to award him the pot.

"You had hearts?" Shuda asked him, relieved to come out a winner.

"Yes," Mermelsetin replied as he shook his head.
