Braga Doubles Into the Chip Lead

Level 38 : 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

Gerson "Gerson'GR'" Braga raised under the gun to 1,400,000, and in the small blind, German "germaxi" Christiansen three bet to 4,550,000. Action was back on Braga, and he four bet to 17,500,000, leaving himself just a few chips behind. Christiansen raised to put Braga all in, and we had a 37 million chip flip to decide the chip leader.

Gerson "Gerson'GR'" Braga: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
German "germaxi" Christiansen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The flop of {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} all but ended the drama, as Braga had flopped top set, and the {7-Clubs} turn sealed the massive double for Braga.
