According to the players, Aaron Mermelstein opened from the hijack and Toan Nguyen went all in from the cutoff for around 1,100,000 chips. Joseph Couden was next on the button and called all in for around 400,000 chips. After the blinds folded, Mermelstein called the all-ins.

Joseph Couden: A?Q?All in
Toan Nguyen: J?J?All in
Aaron Mermelstein: A?K?

The flop came A?K?2? and gave Mermelstein a massive advantage with top two pair.

The turn 7? and river 3? changed nothing, Couden and Nguyen were out and Mermelstein added to his already very healthy stack.
