Kevin Howe made it 140,000 from under the gun before Daniel Wjuniski moved all in from the button for 830,000. Max Steinberg moved all in over the top and Howe got out of the way.

Wjuniski: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Steinberg: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The Brazilian contingent was the quietest we've heard them all night.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Steinberg's rail cheered and Wjuniski's called for a seven.

The turn, {2-Diamonds} brought no help to Wjuniski nor did the {6-Spades} on the river.

The Brazilian side of the rail was a bit dejected, but sang their soccer cheer for their friend.
