Tauan Naves Eliminated in 3rd Place ($478,247)
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
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.
