Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Damarjai Davenport shoved all in for 5,400,000, and Matthew Lambrecht made the call.

Damarjai Davenport: J♥9♠ All in
Matthew Lambrecht: K♦9♣

Davenport was dominated and needed to find a lot of help from the board in order to stay alive and keep the heads-up match going. On the other hand, Lambrecht was just five cards away from his first bracelet.

The 2♦A♣Q♦ flop offered no help to Davenport, and his situation got worse as the 5♦ turn removed some outs as Lambrecht improved to a flush draw.

Davenport had one more shot at survival but found no help as the 5♥ river completed the board, which eliminated him in second.

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.

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.
