Neto Doubles and Celebrates Much More than Excessively

Nelson Trad Neto

From under the gun, Nelson Trad Neto raised all in for 395,000. Engelberth Varela called from the button and the two blinds folded.

Neto: {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Varela: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

The flop came down {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and the threes for Varela stayed in front. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and now Neto needed help on the river.

The river produced the {K-Spades} and smashed Neto with the winning hand. What happened next was -- to say the least -- a little out of the ordinary.

Neto began jumping up and down as high as he could, pumping his arms into the air each time he jumped. The final table stage sounded with extremely large thuds every time Neto landed forcefully, so much so that it sounded as though it might come crashing down. Neto than began running around the room with a black ski mask now pulled over his face. He hugged and cheered with his fan section before returning to the table. When he got back to the table, he put a hat on backwards over the ski mask and sunglasses, too, before taking them off a few moments later.
