Senft Cracks Aces to Double Through Dion
Just before the level went up, we saw a huge pot take place at Table 6 that got Maximilian Senft off to a dream start.
It began when Senft opened for 300 from the hijack and the player in the cutoff three-bet to 700. Yann Dion proceeded to four-bet to 1,800 from the button, the blinds folded, and Senft pushed back with a five-bet to 4,400. The cutoff got out of the way and Dion opted for a six-bet to 7,100.
Senft thought for well over two minutes before making the call, and the two saw a flop of

turned and Senft seized the initiative by leading out for 4,000. Dion made the call, the 
completed the board on the river, and Senft took his time before whispering, "All in."

for a full house. Dion shook his head as if to say, "It figures," and then flashed the 
before sending them to the muck.
