The next hand, Wiciak limped in with A?9?, Joao Sydenstricker raised Q?J? to 925,000, and Wiciak called.
The flop came J?9?9? as Sydenstricker was the one to make two pair this time while Wiciak hit trips. Both players checked and Wiciak bet 1,500,000 on the 5? turn and got called.
Wiciak bet another 4,000,000 on the 2? river and Sydenstricker used a time bank before folding.
