Level 36 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Erkut Yilmaz opened the action and then had pause for thought as Taylor Black moved all in for 7,100,000.

A hush fell as Yilmaz mulled it over and when he called the noise level shot up again as the rail strained against the ropes to see the hands with Black at risk of elimination.

Taylor Black: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Erkut Yilmaz: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board of {6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} gave Black a set to double him up.
