Yilmaz's Boat is Best

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

With about 2,000,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Raul Martinez bet 1,000,000, and his lone opponent, Erkut Yilmaz, called.

The river was the {4-Spades}, and Martinez bet again — 3,000,000 this time. After a few moments of thought, Yilmaz called and tabled {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for tens full of jacks. Martinez showed {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a turned jack-high straight, and Yilmaz took the pot.

"I couldn't ship on him. He had too much," said Yilmaz as he stacked the chips.
