Matthias Habernig opened to 170,000 from the button and Dayan Vardanega made the call from the big.
Vardanega led out for 480,000 on the 
flop with Habernig pausing for a few moments before making the call as the 
landed on the turn.
Vardanega checked the action over to Habernig, who followed his opponent's action by sliding in an assortment of chips totalling 650,000. Vardanega didn't spend too long deliberating his decision, as he moved all in for slightly under 2,000,000; 1,980,000 to be exact. Habernig instantly made the call to put the Brazilian at risk.
Vardanega: 
Habernig: 
"Sete! Sete! Sete!" screamed Vardanega's many supporters in the crowd.
Both players shook hands as one was looking at the possibility of being crowned champion, while the other was on the verge of a deserved, but unlucky runner-up finish.
The crowd continued to chant, as the cameras - both still and video - were working hard to catch every vital moment.
The dealer tapped the table, burnt a card, and then revealed the 
on the river to see Vardanega sent to the rail in 2nd place for a $143,174 payday, as Habernig raised his hands high and quickly rushed to his friends on the rail for some congratulatory high fives and hand shakes.
