Cappiello Makes a Huge Call to Jump Into the Chip Lead
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
A massive pile of chips totaling around 2,000,000 was already in the middle as Candido Cappiello and Xiaohua Yang went heads-up to the A?5?Q? flop. Cappiello then bet 550,000 from the big blind and Yang called in early position.
Both players checked the 9? turn. Cappiello also checked the J? river and Yang fired out 2,000,000.
Cappiello spent a few minutes in the tank before he called. Yang shook his head and turned over 10?10?. Cappiello showed K?K? as he dragged in the massive pot, overtaking Yang for the chip lead in the dying moments of Day 2.
