The Classic Scenario

Nicco Maag opened with a raise to 35,000 only to have Daniel Dizenzo three-bet to 90,000.

Action folded back to Maag and he opted to make it 150,000 to go. Dizenzo wasted no time five-betting to 290,000 and Maag responded by moving all in. Dizenzo snap called only to find that he was crushed:

Dizenzo: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Maag: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

The dealer produced a board of {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} and Maag's aces were able to hold, ending Dizenzo's Main Event. Maag is now sitting on 2,700,000 in chips.
