Santos Doubles Through Greenwood

We got to the table as soon as we heard Jose Roberto Santos yell out to his railbirds that he was all in in Spanish. Santos had all of his chips in the middle with an open-ended straight draw holding {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} on a flop of {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {6-Spades}. Max Greenwood held {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}.

The dealer wasted no time in dealing the {9-Spades} on the turn and giving Santos his straight. He sprung up and down, high fiving his railbirds and screaming in excitement. The river completed the board with the {Q-Spades}, but didn't change anything.

Greenwood asked if there would be an excessive celebration penalty, but Matt Savage just shook his head. He then told the table that he's the last one left out of the 100 Spanish-speaking players in the field. Santos is up to 280,000 now while Greenwood dropped to 680,000.
