Mermelstein Increases His Lead
Level 17
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On the tail end of a 
board, Ben Yu was in the tank after facing a pot-sized bet of Aaron Mermelstein. He ultimately called for half of his stack and Mermelstein tabled 
for a rare nine-card straight to drag in the pot and extend his lead at the top of the leaderboard.
