Action folded all the way around to the small blind where Nicco Maag jammed for 177,000 total.

Thomas Hall in the big blind went into the tank, and after about a minute and a half he made the call.

Hall:
Maag:

The flop cam down giving Hall outs to a backdoor straight, but those outs were taken away when the hit the turn. The river was the securing the double up for Maag early here on Day 3 as he shoots to make the final table.
