Level 44 : 600,000/1,200,000, 150,000 ante

Eli "Timunim" Fagundes raised to 2,400,000 on the button, "Boootsy" three-bet to 8,850,000 from the small blind, Fagundes four-bet shoved all in for 32,735,212 and "Boootsy" called.

Eli "Timunim" Fagundes: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
"Boootsy": {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Fagundes was at risk for his tournament life and facing additional counterfeit outs after the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop. The {9-Hearts} turn was one of those, leaving him with a five to win or a queen or nine to chop.

The river was the {q-Clubs} and the pair chopped it up to remain three-handed.
