Banyas Flops a Set to Double Up
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Nicholas Banyas raised from under the gun, getting calls from Dale Capuano in the cutoff and Xiaoqiong Liu in the small blind.
The flop came 9?J?10?, Liu checked, Banyas bet 55,000, and Capuano raised to 200,000. Liu got out of the way and Banyas came over the top with an all-in shove of 524,000, putting himself at risk. Capuano thought for a moment before making the call.
Nicholas Banyas: 9?9? 
Dale Capuano: J?10?
The turn landed the A? and the river brought the 2?, and the sizable pot was pushed Banyas' way.
