Metalidi Takes Chunk from Ma
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Artem Metalidi raised 80,000 at the cutoff and received calls from a player on the button and WSOP bracelet winner Long Ma, who was in the small blind.
The player in the big blind folded and the dealer fanned 7?10?K? on the flop.
Ma checked and Metalidi bet 180,000, which drew calls from the button and Ma.
The dealer then placed 6? on the turn and Ma led out with 300,000. Metaldi moved all in for his remaining 1,820,000 to put himself at risk.
The button folded and Ma immediately called.
Artem Metalidi: A?A? 
Long Ma: 8?6?
Metalidi��s pocket aces were ahead, but he had a lot to dodge as Ma had multiple outs to a gutshot straight draw and a diamond flush draw.
The aces held after the 4? appeared on the river to give Metalidi a full double up.
