Braga Gets Lucky to Double Up

Level 40 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

Gerson "Gerson'GR'" Braga moved all in from under the gun for 12 million and change, and next to act, Matias "Maty25" Ruzzi moved all in over the top for a bit more. Everyone else folded, and the cards were flipped.

Matias "Maty25" Ruzzi: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Gerson "Gerson'GR'" Braga: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Braga was in a world of hurt, but that would change after the flop came down {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Ruzzi needed a queen now, but the board would finish out {4-Hearts} and {j-Diamonds}, giving Braga the double up.
