Maia Scoops a Monster Pot
Niveau 21
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action was caught as the pot had already swelled to 385,000 with two players looking at a flop of J♥Q♠2♣.
Yannis Bidard, in the big blind, checked the action to Pedro Maia, in the cutoff. Maia moved all in for 194,000 and Bidard went deep into the tank. Bidard eventually chose to make the call and the hands were tabled.
Pedro Maia: A♣A♦ 
Yannis Bidard: K♣Q♣
Bidard's top pair was way behind the aces of Maia. The 8♣ turn and 8♠ river couldn't improve Bidard and Maia found a huge double with pocket aces.
