Dani Stern opened for 130,000 and the action folded around to Valdemar Kwaysser, who three-bet to 300,000. Stern moved all-in and Kwaysser called.

Kwaysser 
Kwaysser's supporters began screeching for an ace, which in their native tongue sounds more like a three-letter synonym for "donkey." The dealer complied, spreading out an 
flop. Stern needed a ten to survive, his own rail rallying behind him. Dan Smith even climbed up on a friend's shoulders (he was also wearing a red sequined hat with a black feather, but that's another story) and held his arms out, trying to conjure up a ten for his buddy.
The turn, however, was the 
and the river the 
. Stern headed to the rail in fifth place and was trailed out of the Amazon Room by his sizable cheering squad.
Kwaysser has a commanding chip lead with 3,730,000.
