The French rail contingency was shouting, "Go David!" The flop came down {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

Steinberg: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The Brazilian contingent was the quietest we've heard them all night.

The turn, {2-Diamonds} brought no help to Wjuniski nor did the {6-Spades} on the river.

The Brazilian side of the rail was a bit dejected, but sang their soccer cheer for their friend.
