Naves Snatches Chip Lead in Penultimate Hand of the Night
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Damarjai Davenport limped in from the small blind and Tauan Naves checked his option from the big blind.
On the 5♥7♥6♣ flop, Davenport continued for 200,000, and Naves called.
The turn brought a K♠ and Davenport checked it over to Naves, who fired 750,000. Davenport then check-raised to 2,425,000, and Naves slid forward calling chips.
When the J♠ landed on the river, Davenport took his time before he shoved all in, which put Naves to the ultimate test for his remaining stack of 5,275,000. After thinking it through, Naves took one chip and placed it into the pot which signified a call.
Davenport quickly revealed 5♦3♣ for bottom pair, but Naves flipped K♥5♣ for two pair to take over as the chip leader in the penultimate hand of the night.
