I would wager that there are tribes in the deepest darkest reaches of the Amazon who, when playing in their weekly home game have one or two players cry out: “Nine-high like a boss!”

That now-familiar refrain has been heard here in the Miralago Hall of the Casino Vilamoura in southern Portugal, from the lips of Hugo Andrade.

“Nine-high like a boss!” he cried, tabling his Diamond 9Heart 8 with great gusto on a board of Spade 6Heart 5Diamond 10Club 4Diamond Q.

His opponent, Mario Milhoes (pictured above), calmly turned over Club KDiamond 2 with no more than a whisper, and took down the pot.
