Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action folded to Max Pinnola on the button, and he raised all in for 780,000. The small blind folded, and Brandon Mueller in the big blind confirmed the stack of Pinnola, and made the call.

Max Pinnola: K♠8♠ All in
Brandon Mueller: A♠Q♦

Pinnola was at risk and would need to improve against the ace high of Mueller. Before the flop Pinnola asked for an "eight ball", and got just that after the flop came 6♥3♠8♣ putting Pinnola in front. He managed to fade both over cards after the 2♠ turn, and 3♥ river to secure the double up with two pair, eights and threes.

Player	Chips	Progress
Brandon Mueller	2,000,000 -500,000	-500,000
