The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and Black checked. Babekov bet 500,000, and Black called. The turn brought the {10-Clubs}, and both players checked. The river was the {2-Diamonds}, and Black bet 700,000. Babekov raised to 1,500,000, and Black went into the tank. After nearly two minutes, Black folded, and Babekov took the pot.

Shorties Shoving

Level 35 : 150,000/300,000, 50,000 ante

There's a lot of laughing and joking around at the tables, mostly by the players who are not in immediate danger of elimination.

The others are occasionally moving all in and picking up antes and blinds without showdowns.

Raise-and-Takes

Level 35 : 150,000/300,000, 50,000 ante

Play has slowed significantly since the unofficial final table has been reached. Most pots this level have been won preflop. Flops have been rare, turns even more so, and rivers nonexistent.

Level: 35

Blinds: 150,000/300,000

Ante: 50,000

Change of Plans

Level 34 : 120,000/240,000, 40,000 ante

Led by the players, there has been a change of plans. They will now revert to the original plan at the start of the day.

There will be a 15-minute break at the end of this level to color up the chips. When they resume, play continues until they lose another player and the official final table is set. The day will then end, and the final nine players will come back tomorrow to play to a winner. There's no dinner break today.
