Brinkmann Doubles Through Yanayt

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Alex Gomes raise to 205,000 from UTG+1 before Freitez made it 410,000 in the big blind to win the pot.

Eugene Yanayt raised to 200,000 from UTG+1, and Juan Maceiras called from the cutoff but then Torsten Brinkmann moved all in for exactly 1.5 million. Yanayt then thought for a while before calling and Maceiras said, "I was going to call..." folding {a-}{q-} face up.

Brinkmann: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Yanayt: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Brinkmann was much happier with Yanayt's call than the idea of flipping against Maceiras, as he should've been because the board came {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. If Yanayt had folded, Brinkmann would've been called by the Spaniard and would now be out.

Instead Yanayt has lost a 3.5 million chip pot to the German while Maceiras is left lamenting what might have been...
