There were already around 1,500,000 chips in the pot on a board of 3♦2♦7♣Q♥ when Leonard Maue checked it over to Justin Vaysman, who bet 850,000. Maue thought it over for a while but slid in the call.
On the 3♥ river, Mauechecked again only for Vaysman to shove for just under 2,500,000. Mauehad around 2,350,000 in his stack and after thinking it over, he decided to put them all at risk.
Vaysman flipped up A♠A♦ which crushed the A♣Q♦ of Maue, which ultimately sent him to the rail in the opening level of Day 6.
