Dan O'Hair

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Muhtar Taysi opened from middle position and was called by Shankui Li in the big blind.

Li check-called a 200,000 bet from Taysi on the 9♠10♣5♠ flop and checked again after the Q♠ fell on the turn.

Taysi bet 400,000 and Li shoved for a bit under one million total. Taysi called and hands were revealed.

Shankui Li: K♠10♦ All in
Muhtar Taysi: 9♣9♦

Li was drawing to a jack for a straight, but the K♣ river left him second best against Taysi's set and he was eliminated in 23rd place.
