Li Rebuilds Bigger and Stronger
At the end of Level 12, Baitai Li was sitting with 540,000 in chips. He lost more than half of them but then got them all back all in Level 13.
In a recent hand, the under-the-gun player limped and Bryan Miller raised to 7,000. Bin Weng called from the button, Li did the same from the small blind, and the player in the big came along as well. The limper did too to make it five-way action to the flop.
Three checks saw Miller bet 11,500 and Weng called. Li then check-raised to 37,000 and action folded back to Weng, who moved all in for what looked to be a bit over 80K. Li quickly called.

Bin Weng:
Weng had an overpair but it was no good as Li had flopped top two pair. The turn gave Weng a flush draw, and he hit it when the peeled off on the river. Unfortunately for him, the same card also improved Li to a winning full house.
