Hand #34  –  Everyone folded to Jason Koon, giving him a walk in the big blind.

Hand #35  –  Roman Valerstein raised from the hijack to 175,000, and Zo Karim called from the big blind. The flop came Ah10s5s, Karim checked, Valerstein bet 125,000, and Karim thought for a while before he called. The turn card was the 9h, and both players checked.

The river card was the Ks, and they check again. Karim showed Jh10c for a pair of tens, but Valerstein turned over Ad2s to win the pot with a pair of aces.

Hand #36  –  Joe Serock raised UTG+1 to 160,000, Tim Burt reraised from middle position to 350,000, and Serock called. The flop came Jh9d3h, Serock checked, Burt bet 385,000, and Serock tanked for nearly a minute before moving all in for 1,675,000.

Burt tanked for about a minute before he folded, and Serock took the pot.
