Rakesh Uppala moved all in under-the-gun and the action folded around to Greg Merkow who made the call to put him at risk.
Uppala: [AcJh]
Merkow: [6s6c]
Uppala would need to improve to stay alive, and the board gave him the help he needed as it came [Js4c5sKcAd] to give him two pair to secure the double.
Unfortunately, this victory was short-lived as he got it all in the very next hand with pocket nines but ran into the pocket kings of Eric Hernandez. The runout of [7d4c7h5hJs] failed to save him this time and he was sent to the rail while Hernndez chipped up.
Merkow - 190,000
Hernandez - 585,000
