Andre Akkari has one of the loudest and most chant-happy rails this World Series has seen ... well maybe they're not as good as the British rails, but they definitely have the numbers to take on any country!
So far PokerStars Team Pros Alexander Gomes and Gualter Salles have been spotted, as well as Team PokerStars Online member Diego ‘vgreen22’ Brunelli and Maria Mayrinck in amongst a sea of yellow and Brazilian flags.
Although Akkari is the table short stack at the moment with around 2,300,000, we decided to grab Maria for today's instalment of our Poker Vox Pop.
Is Andre better at football (or soccer to you Americans) or poker?
Tough one... I'm going to have to say poker because look how fat he is!
Does Andre love football or poker more?
It's a coinflip.
If Brazil were in the World Cup Final and he had a final table to play, would he be late to the final table?
He would come to the final table with an iPad and watch it while playing.
If Andre wins, how crazy are you guys going to go?
Oh my God... We will go absolutely insane. You'll have to call the ambulance! Because if he wins, it will be like Brazil winning the World Cup!
