Level 36
: 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Nicholas Seward opened 9,900,000 in the cutoff and Akinobu Maeda called off his 8,000,000 in the big blind.
Akinobu Maeda: A♠A♦
Nicholas Seward: Q♦J♦
Maeda woke up with the best hand in the game from the big blind and the A♣6♥4♦Q♥5♥ run out gave him a set of aces to double-up and take the chip lead.
