Level 37 : 250,000/500,000, 50,000 ante

Hand #12: Mark Babekov finally arrived to take his seat, and Erkut Yilmaz got a walk in the big blind.

Hand #13: Yilmaz completed from the small blind and Pomponio checks. The flop came {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {10-Spades} on the turn. Yilmaz led with a bet of 500,000 and Pomponio called.

On the {10-Hearts} river both players checked. Pomponio showed {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and it was good to take down the pot.

Hand #14: Taylor Black opened with a raise to 1 million. Action folded around to Pomponio and he three-bet to 2,525,000.

Babekov looked at his cards. "I don't like this," he said. Then he threw in the chips to call. Black called as well.

The flop came {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and all three players checked. On the {4-Spades} turn, Pomponio bet 3,400,000 and both players folded, awarding him the pot.

Hand #15: Kent Coppock raised and both blinds folded, awarding him the pot.

Hand #16: Ralph Massey moved all in and everyone folded.

Hand #17: Babekov raised to 2,000,000 and everyone folded.

Hand #18: Babekov raised to 2,000,000 and everyone folded again.

Hand #19: Coppock limped from the small blind and Yilmaz checked his option. On the {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, Coppock checked to Yilmaz. Yilmaz bet 650,000 and Coppock folded.
