Brant Hale Eliminated in 6th Place ($25,126)
A-5 Triple Draw
Aaron Mermelstein opened on the button and was called by Ryan Moriarty in the small blind. Brant Hale, meanwhile, was forced all in out of the big blind.
Both Mermelstein and Moriarty took two on the first draw while Hale drew three. Action then checked through to the second draw.
The second draw saw all three players take two cards with Moriarty then leading out. Mermelstein responded with a raise, which Moriarty called.
On the final draw Moriarty took one, Hale two and Mermelstein declined to draw. Moriarty then check-called a bet from Mermelstein but was unable to best his opponent's 6x5x4x3x2x. Hale tabled 5x2xAx, meaning he still had a slim chance to survive. Hale's hopes, however, were dashed after he turned over the 9x with the 8x completing his hand, sending him to the payout desk in 6th place.
