Maas Spikes an Ace
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Taylor Maas open-shoved in the hijack for 365,000 and Arlie Brandvold reshoved in the cutoff to isolate.
Taylor Maas: A♥8♥ 
Arlie Brandvold: J♠J♦
Brandvold was in the lead until the dealer put out the A♠Q♦5♦ flop, with Maas spiking an ace to pull ahead. The 4♦ turn and 7♠ river offered no help to Brandvold and the pot was pushed Maas' way.
Brandvold was left with 200,000 but doubled up with ace-king versus his opponent's ace-queen shortly after.
