The flop brought out 
and Jaffe took a commanding lead. Campelo needed to catch a king or a deuce, but the turn was the 
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 
.
"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.
