Stuart Taylor moved all-in for 13,000 under the gun and was called by Mark Dube in the small blind and Sergei Kislinskii in the big blind.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Steven Maddison, who won a Gold Pass via a CNE Second Chance freeroll, got his last 20,500 all in preflop and was flipping for his tournament life against Grant Wang.

Steven Maddison: A♥K♠ All in
Grant Wang: J♠J♦

Maddison was in need of improvement and got it when the A♠2♠10♥ flop paired his ace. The Q♥ turn gave both players straight outs, and the J♣ completed the board on the river. Wang made a set of jacks but it was no good as Maddison made a Broadway straight.

Wang was left with 22,000 after but lost it all a few hands later.

Prior to coming to Las Vegas, Maddison did an interview with PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson.
