On the button and under-the-gun 3-handed, Maas moved all in for 510,000. Matt Kirby in the small blind called.

Maas is still in third, but has chipped up a tad. In the three hands immediately after the double up, Maas moved all in preflop three times and won uncontested all three times to get to 1,600,000.
