Naves Hits the River to Double Up
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Matthew Lambrecht opened to 1,200,000 from under the gun, then Tauan Naves in the small blind three-bet to 4,250,000. Simas Karaliunas in the big blind folded, but Lambrecht eventually four-bet all-in. Naves didn't wait to call, being the player at risk for a total of 4,650,000.
Tauan Naves: A♠10♣ 
Matthew Lambrecht: A♦J♥
Naves was on the edge of elimination after the 7♦2♥9♦ flop and the 7♥ turn. "Ten," he asked, and he was heard as the 10♥ river landed on the felt.
"Boom!" he shouted, while the loud Brazilian rail was fervently celebrating.
