Hand #117: Thomas Pomponio opened for 2,000,000 and Taylor Black three-bet to 6,000,000. Pomponio wasn't going anywhere. He moved a tower of 500,000-chips out front together with a smaller one, a four-bet worth 13,500,000. Black announced he was allmin and Pomponio wasted no time before calling.

Thomas Pomponio: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Taylor Black: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Black first saw the {10-Diamonds} and immediately reacted, "Ten!" But in a microsecond added an, "Oh," as the dealer rolled over the {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop.

Pomponio faded the remaining two tens on the {9-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river, securing a giant double-up for 33,125,000.
