Freitez Wins a Small One, Loses a Larger One
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 5,000 ante
Ivan Freitez raised to 180,000 from the button and the blinds both folded. He showed them by way of warning.
Next hand, Freitez raised again, this time to 175,000 from the cutoff. Undeterred by the queens, this time Eugene Yanayt raised to 500,000. After a little time spent in the tank, Freitez flat-called. Yanayt immediately had another peek at his hole cards and the flop was dealt.
The flop came down and Yanayt thought about it for a little while before betting out 625,000. It was enough to make Freitez fold, and Yanayt is now up to 4.3 million.
