Maag on the Move

Shamus

Nicco Maag arrived a little late today, but once he got here he continued to add to his stack gradually through the first two levels. He just grabbed an extra chunk of chips here at the start of Level 27 to push up close to the 8 million-chip mark and into the chip lead.

After Danny Wong opened from middle position, Magg called from a seat over, and Robert Corcione called from the big blind, the pot was about 400,000 when the flop came {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} . Corcione checked, Wong made a continuation bet, and both of his opponents called. By then the pot size was about 1 million.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} . Corcione checked, and Wong fired a bet of 700,000. Maag then raised to 2 million even. After some thought, Corcione pushed his hand away, and eventually Wong did as well.

From under the gun, Amit Makhija raised to 100,000. Action then folded all the way over to Nicco Maag in the big blind and he min-reraised to 150,000. Makhija reraised to 400,000 and Maag called.

The flop came down {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} and Maag checked. Makhija bet 450,000 and Maag made the call.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Maag checked. Makhija bet 675,000 and Maag tank-called after a few long minutes of thought.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and both players checked.

Makhija turned over the {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} , but that was no good against the {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} for Maag. Maag won the pot and pushed over six million in chips.

Nicco Maag	6,200,000 1,280,000	1,280,000
