Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

The action folded to Matthew Lambrecht in the small blind who shoved, which left Vladimir Minko with the decision for his stack of 5,000,000.

"Did you look?" asked Minko.

"Does it matter?" replied Lambrecht.

Minko looked at his cards and then put in a chip to make the call.

Vladimir Minko: 10♠10♦ All in
Matthew Lambrecht: A♠7♣

Minko kept his lead after the 3♥K♦7♦ flop but an A♣ on the turn left him one card from elimination. No help arrived on the 2♦ river which meant Minko was out in fifth.

Eshaan Bhalla: Q♥3♦ All in
Damarjai Davenport: A♦2♣

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Tauan Naves opened the button to 800,000 and Matthew Lambrecht three-bet from the big blind to 2,500,000. Naves wasted no time in shoving for around 14,000,000, and Lambrecht snap-called for 9,450,000 total.

Matthew Lambrecht: A♣A♠ All in
Tauan Naves: 10♣10♥

A brutal spot for Naves who started the day as chip leader and was now at risk of becoming one of the bottom stacks. There was a board to sweat but it changed nothing as the 8♦5♥9♠2♥Q♠ runout kept the pocket aces of Lambrecht in the lead.

Player	Chips	Progress
Matthew Lambrecht	19,500,000 10,000,000	10,000,000

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

They both agreed on 400,000 again to see the A♥ turn, where Bhalla checked. Lambrecht took this opportunity to bet 1,400,000 and Bhalla quickly folded.
