Maahs Gets Sneaky With Aces
Level 9
: 400/800, 800 ante
A player raised to 2,100 from middle position, and was called by 2019 WSOP Main Event fifth-place finisher Kevin Maahs in the hijack. The cutoff three-bet to 6,100, and the big blind called, as did the middle position player. Maahs then four-bet to 27,200, and the cutoff tanked for a few minutes before folding. The big blind called off his last 23,000, and the middle position player folded.
