Jesse Rockowitz opened to 200,000 with the button and Thiago Nishijima moved all in for around 1,500,000 from the small blind. Raymond Coburn surrendered his big blind and Rockowitz quickly called.

Showdown
Rockowitz: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Nishijima: {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Everyone wearing green and yellow was standing and chanting, "ACE! ACE! ACE!"

Flop: {8-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

The Brazilians on the rail absolutely erupted, jumping up and down cheering in Portugeuse. The turn ({k-Hearts}) and river ({j-Clubs}) both bricked, and Nishijima doubled to 3,100,000 chips.
