Ezequiel Waigel

Joao Sydenstricker opened to 525,000 from the button before Ezequiel Waigel moved all in for 4,750,000 in the big blind. Sydenstricker confirmed the amount before he called.

Ezequiel Waigel: A?7?
Joao Sydenstricker: A?K?

Sydenstricker had Waigel dominated and ran over to his rail, who began chanting "Hey!" as the dealer turned over the 9?8?3? flop.

Waigel found no help on the 4? turn, while the 2? river sent the Brazilian rail into delirious celebration and made Waigel the first casualty of the day, taking home �302,500 for his sixth-place finish.

Akkari Counterfeited on the River

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Action folded to Joao Sydenstricker in the small blind who limped in with J?10?. Andre Akkari checked 10?8? as both players hit a pair on the K?10?3? flop.

Sydenstricker and Akkari both checked to the 8? turn, where Akkari made two pair. Sydenstricker led out for 375,000 and Akkari called.

The K? river counterfeited Akkari's two pair and gave Sydenstricker the lead with his jack-kicker. He bet 425,000 and Akkari quickly called, only to be shown the unfortunate news by his countryman.

Simon Wiciak raised to 500,000 under the gun with A?10? and, for the third time so far at the final table, received a call by Joao Sydenstricker holding 9?9? in early position.

Sydenstricker called with his nines and straight draw but missed the 8? river and both players checked, Wiciak finally taking a pot off his Brazilian nemesis.
