Lee Busts Li with a Bang

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Shengyu Li
Shengyu Li

Hermann Lee raised to 14,000 from the button and Shengyu Li three-bet to 40,000 in the big blind, which Lee called. After the flop of {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Li continued for 42,000 and Li called before the {J-Hearts} turn was followed by the all in of Li for around 135,000 and a snap-call by Lee.

Shengyu Li: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Hermann Lee: {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Li needed one of the two remaining tens in the deck, but the {3-Diamonds} river provided no help to see Li leave the table with a "sick hand" on his lips and plenty of gasps and chuckles from other players at the table.

Asmolov Takes from Li

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Sathesh Muthu raised to 14,000 from under the gun and chip leader Yo Seb Rhee called in the cutoff. Both proceeded to check down the board {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and showed {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} respectively {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} to chop it up thanks to the flush on the board.

Then, Shengyu Li made it 14,000 to go and Timofey Asmolov called from two seats ober. Both checked the {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}n flop and Li's bet of 15,000 on the {J-Spades} turn was called. Again there was no betting action on the {3-Clubs} river and Li's {A-Spades}{K-Spades} ended up second-best to the {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} of Asmolov.

First Action After Dinner

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Shengyu Li raised to 13,000 and Timofey Asmolov called from two seats over. The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Li continued for 13,000, then joked "friendly" to his opponent. Asmolov raised to 45,000 and returned the "friendly" in table chat with a big grin on the face. Li folded and was shown the {A-Clubs}.

Jun Obaray raised to 14,000 to win the blinds and antes before Sathesh Muthu's raise to 14,000 was called by Mansour Matloubi. Li moved in from the big blind and won the pot. Celina Lee shoved right after to claim the blinds and antes.

Three Double Ups

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Hand 1

Jun Obara raised to 15,000 and called the shove of short stack Mansour Matloubi for 65,000.

Mansour Matloubi: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Jun Obara: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The board came {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Matloubi doubled up.

Hand 2

Picking up the action on the {Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} turn, Hermann Lee bet and called a raise to 35,000 by Simon Burns to see the {7-Spades} on the river. Now it was Lee that checked and Burns bet 25,000. Lee check-raised to 100,000 and Burns snap-called to see his {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} get cracked by Lee's {K-Spades}{5-Spades}. Burns was ready to surrender his entire stack, but had in fact another 21,000 behind after the call.

Hand 3

Shengyu Li raised to 12,000 and called the shove of Burns for 20,500, tabling {K-Spades}{8-Spades}. Burns needed help with {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} and got there on the board {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}.
