Naves Hits the River to Double Up

Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Matthew Lambrecht opened to 1,200,000 from under the gun, then Tauan Naves in the small blind three-bet to 4,250,000. Simas Karaliunas in the big blind folded, but Lambrecht eventually four-bet all-in. Naves didn't wait to call, being the player at risk for a total of 4,650,000.
Tauan Naves: A?10?
Matthew Lambrecht: A?J?
Naves was on the edge of elimination after the 7?2?9? flop and the 7? turn. "Ten," he asked, and he was heard as the 10? river landed on the felt.
"Boom!" he shouted, while the loud Brazilian rail was fervently celebrating.
