Brazilian Fans Always Rowdy

[user38449]

Fans of Juliano Maesano have flocked to the rails to cheer him on in his quest to reach the final table.

As Maesano hit a flush on the river, his followers let out a very loud "YEEEEAAAHHH!"

The atmosphere is much like that of a soccer match, only without the face paint and fireworks; at least not yet.
