Everyone Loves a Chop Pot?

Level 44 : 600,000/1,200,000, 150,000 ante

Eli "Timunim" Fagundes raised to 2,400,000 on the button, "Boootsy" three-bet to 8,850,000 from the small blind, Fagundes four-bet shoved all in for 32,735,212 and "Boootsy" called.

Eli "Timunim" Fagundes: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
"Boootsy": {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Fagundes was at risk for his tournament life and facing additional counterfeit outs after the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop. The {9-Hearts} turn was one of those, leaving him with a five to win or a queen or nine to chop.

The river was the {q-Clubs} and the pair chopped it up to remain three-handed.

Easy Calls for Fagundes

Level 43 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

In a blind-on-blind battle, Michael "munchenHB" Telker raised to 3,000,000 and Eli "Timunim" Fagundes peeled a flop. It came {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Fagundes called a bet of 1,950,000 in position.

On the {9-Diamonds} turn, Telker kept up the aggression with a bet of 6,500,000 but Fagundes was going nowhere and slid in another call. Both players checked the {k-Diamonds} on the river.

Telker showed a measly {6-Spades}{5-Clubs} to play the board, while Fagundes had {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a much better holding to claim the pot.
