Petronack called before Maceiras was able to slide a single chip across the betting line, tabling two red aces, much to the dismay of his boisterous rival who could only produce pocket eights.

The river brought the -- a useless card for Petronack -- and an ecstatic Maceiras celebrated the win with a small group of friends near the rail.
