Yates Cracks The Million As Schreiner Falters

The biggest hand of the tournament has just taken place with Marcel Schreiner making a huge misstep to see his stack fall dramatically.

The action was started by Schreiner in middle position where he opened to 12,500. Play was then on Matt Yates on the button and he three-bet to 19,500. Schreiner then four-bet to 65,000 whereby Yates popped it to 116,00 with the five-bet.

The biggest pot of the day was already building and it was about to get bigger as Schreiner moved all-in for his monster 660,000 remaining chips. Yates looked a little pained but gave a bit of a shrug and made the call turning over {k-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} . The whole table was then shocked to see Schreiner turn over {9-Spades} {8-Spades} , with the worry of aces gone for Yates.

The board would run out {9-Clubs} {j-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {j-Spades} {3-Clubs} with barely a sweat by the turn for Schreiner, he took the massive hit to his stack and Yates becomes the first millionaire at the table.
