Forty-one players took their seats this afternoon at the start of Day 3 in the World Series of Poker Event #5: $565 Colossus No Limit Hold'em, but only nine advanced to Wednesday's final table. The winner will take home the top prize of $1,000,000.

The chip lead is held by Mark Babekov, who ended the day with 19,025,000 in chips. Second in chips is Erkut Yilmaz with 16,000,00, followed by Taylor Black with 13,300,000 chips.

Among the notables at the final table are Matt Affleck and Luke Vrabel. The chip leader at the start of the day, Raul Martinez Requena, busted in a hand against Yilmaz in 11th place. After his bust-out the players merged onto the unofficial final table, where the bubble lasted a bit more than three hours until Jason Orrell was eliminated in 10th place.

Erkut Yilmaz opened the action and then had pause for thought as Taylor Black moved all in for 7,100,000.

A hush fell as Yilmaz mulled it over and when he called the noise level shot up again as the rail strained against the ropes to see the hands with Black at risk of elimination.

Taylor Black: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Erkut Yilmaz: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board of {6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} gave Black a set to double him up.

Mark Babekov raised to 1,000,000 from early position, Kent Coppock three-bet shoved from the button for 5,450,000, and Matt Affleck re-shoved from the small blind. Babekov folded, and Coppock and Affleck tabled their hands.

Affleck: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Coppock was racing for his tournament life and needed help from the board in order to double up. The {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop kept Affleck in the lead, as did the {8-Spades} turn, but the {Q-Hearts} on the river paired Coppock's queen, and he scooped the pot.
