Nejat Erman opened to 2,500 from middle position and received calls from Andress Merheb in the cutoff, Mustafa Batum in the small blind and a mysterious player who asked to remain anonymous and only be referred to as "John Doe" in the big blind.
The flop came A♠5♥3♣ and action checked around to Erman who bet 4,000. Merheb and Batum called while Doe got out of the way.
On the 7♠ turn Batum checked, Erman checked and Merheb bet 16,000. Batum called and Erman folded.
The river was the 9♣. Batum checked, Merheb moved all in, covering Batum's remaining stack of roughly 40,000 and Batum made the call.
Batum tabled A♣6♣ for top pair while Merheb showed down A♦5♦ for two pair to take down another nice pot while Batum was sent to the rail.
