Shin Cracks a Set to Double; Paredes Picks Off Lapka
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Byung Shin and Yang Li went to a flop of J♠10♦9♠ where Shin moved all in for 76,000 from the big blind. Li snap-called in early position.
Byung Shin: K♠5♠ 
Yang Li: J♦J♥
Li showed down top set, while Shin had straight and flush draws. The Q♠ turn completed both of his draws to give him the lead, while the river was the A♠ and Shin doubled up.
At the same time at another table, Justin Lapka and Victor Paredes built a pot of around 120,000 in a blind versus blind battle to the river on a board of J♣7♠5♦10♣4♦. Lapka then bet 190,000 from the big blind.
Paredes took a few minutes before calling with J♠4♠ for two pair, and Lapka flashed just ace-high as Paredes took down the big pot.
"Nitroll," Lapka joked with Paredes after the hand.
