Erkut Yilmaz started the action with a raise to 435,000 from the hijack, and Mark Babekov called from the big blind.

The flop came {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Hearts}, and Babekov bet 475,000. Yilmaz called. The turn brought the {4-Hearts}, and both players checked. The {J-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Babekov bet 1,800,000, sending Yilmaz into the tank.

"Will you show me if I lay it down?" Yilmaz asked.

"Absolutely not," replied Babekov with no hesitation. But a few moments later, he said, "I'll show you my weaker card. I owe you one."

After several minutes, Yilmaz folded, and Babekov showed the {3-Hearts} as he dragged the pot.
