After losing two big pots, he shoved his remaing chips from under the gun with {a-}{k-}, and it folded around to the big blind, who called with pocket fives, which held and ended Lentz' impressive tournament run.

Stewart Kirby: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Things didn't look good for Bhave on the [JsJh4vQc] board, but the {k-Hearts} on the river gave Bhave a better two pair and extended his tournament run.
