Chaoui Doubles Off Tavares; Table Finds a Way to Silence Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel made a deal with the rest of his tablemates, agreeing not to talk for 10 minutes if they all took off their sunglasses.
Meanwhile, in the new peace and tranquility surrounding the final table, Ottomar Ladva raised to 100,000 in middle position before Renan Bruschi picked up K♥K♣ and three-bet to 270,000 in the hijack. Ladva folded A♦J♥.
Bruschi then raised to 100,000 in middle position and was called by Fausto Martello. Gabriel Tavares then three-bet to 400,000 in the cutoff, and Mehdi Chaoui moved all in for 1,000,000 in the big blind. Bruschi and Martello folded, while Tavares called.
Mehdi Chaoui: A♣K♠ 
Gabriel Tavares: K♥10♥
Chaoui had Tavares dominated going to the flop, which came J♥9♦4♦ to give Tavares a straight draw. The K♦ turn gave both players top pair, but Chaoui's ace-kicker stayed ahead on the 6♦ river to earn him a double up.
