Eugene Yanayt

We've lost the full complement of American players now, as Eugene Yanayt exits the final table winning a quarter of a million Euros after his strong performance throughout all five days in a poker discipline he's not usually known for (Triple Draw cash is his speciality).

Yanayt made a chunky three-bet shove preflop after Freitez opened. Freitez looked at the 2,000,000+ facing him and thought for a long time. Neither player moved a muscle for minutes, but when Freitez finally called they both stood up, Yanayt with a resigned expression and Freitez with a little more animation.

Freitez: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Yanayt: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The board: {10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Hearts} (The cries of 'va-mo-va-mo-va-mo' growing louder with each card)

Out goes Yanayt to collect his considerable sixth place prize money.
