Jacob Naquin raised to 130,000 from the button only to find Andre Akkari move all in from the big blind. Eventually Naquin made the call and the cards were turned up:

Akkari: {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Naquin: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Akkari won the pot, doubling up with a pair of queens. Akkari's section of the crowd went crazy with various chants and yet another wave.
