Sets For Everybody as Li Busts to Cappiello
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
While the rest of the field went on break, Shankui Li and Candido Cappiello were playing out a hand that resulted in them both getting their chips in the middle preflop, with the former at risk for his stack of around 100,000.
Shankui Li: 6♠6♦ 
Candido Cappiello: A♣A♠
Li was well behind and did momentarily think he jumped into the lead on the K♥6♣A♥ flop, but he soon realized that Cappiello had also made a set. The turn brought a 9♣ and Boris Smuskevicius, who had folded preflop, said he mucked 9x9x and would have also made a set!
Only one out could save Li, but the 3♥ river wasn't what he needed, meaning he was eliminated.
