Level 12
: 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
There was already action before Yilfer Shevket shoved all in for 77,000. One player was contemplating the call but as time ticked down on the Shot Clock he folded what he later said was ace-queen.

“You have a pair?” Shevket asked and got a shake of the head and Shevket seemed satisfied with that answer as he revealed his cards.
Shevket: 
Opponent: 
The board had a dramatic run out of 
.
Shevket groaned when he saw the ace in the window then a yelp of triumph when he saw he had hit a set. Quad deuces on the turn meant the rivered full house of his opponent was crushed.
“I wouldn’t have called with ace ten,” was Shevket’s advice to his opponent.
