It was so close to being over. Will Jaffe was just one card away from winning his first World Series of Poker bracelet, but Luis Campelo pulled off a miracle on the river.

Will Jaffe raised to 320,000 from the small blind, and Luis Campelo moved all in for 2,750,000. Jaffe called right away.

Will Jaffe{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Luis Campelo{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The flop brought out {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Jaffe took a commanding lead. Campelo needed to catch a king or a deuce, but the turn was the {Q-Spades} taking away some of his outs. The Brazilian needed one of the two remaining deuces in the deck, and the Amazon Room exploded when the river brought out the {2-Clubs}.

"Vamos Luis!!" a group of around 20 Brazilians shouted from the rail cheering their friend on. The chanting and cheering continues as Campelo has taken the chip lead.
