Mermelstein Sends "Aces" Out with Aces

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

British poker legend Simon "Aces" Trumper just received the most ironic of eliminations from the Main Event after he moved all in for his last 70,000 and found a customer in Aaron Mermelstein.

Simon Trumper: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Aaron Mermelstein: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, and while it's far from the first time the man has been eliminated by his nickname, it's likely a rarity that it's happened to him in the Main Event.

Meanwhile at a nearby table, former Main Event final tablist Kenny Hallaert was seen heading toward the payout desk.
