Maag Mauls Merrifield

"This table is sick. So many all ins."

So one player at the table lamented, as Table #399 has become the action table, with several players moving all in during consecutive hands immediately after the dinner break.

This time we caught up to see Steve Merrifield all in with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Unfortunately for Merrifield, he was up against Nico Maag's {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Merrifield's head fell into his hands. Merrifield's Main Event came to an end while Magg was able to boost his stack even more. He's currently sitting on 3,680,000.
