Matthew Lambrecht made it 1,200,000 on the button and Tauan Naves shoved for around 6,000,000 in the big blind. Lambrecht quickly called.
Tauan Naves: A♣5♥
Matthew Lambrecht: A♠Q♣
Naves rail saw the bad news but weren't dishearted as they started to chant.
"Cinco, cinco, cinco!" shouted Naves' rail as they wanted to see a five on the board.
A flop of J♦Q♥10♦ soon quietened down the rail as Lambrecht improved to top pair. Naves' best hope was a king for a chop but it never arrived as neither the 9♥ turn nor 3♦ river could save him from elimination.
