Action folded to "URIEL_ROCK" in the small blind, who limped. Matheus "bolonhax" Freitas, in the big blind, moved all in as the big stack. "URIEL_ROCK" made the call for 40,606,612 total.
"URIEL_ROCK": 8♠8♦
Matheus "bolonhax" Freitas: 2♥A♦
"URIEL_ROCK" was already ahead, in good position for a key double up, and the Q♦8♥2♦ flop improved them to a set. The 4♥ turn left Freitas drawing dead before the 3♣ river completed the board. A set of eights was enough to win the pot, and "URIEL_ROCK" secured a major double up.
