The action folded to Baitai Li on the button who raised it up to 34,000. Hon Cheong Lee three-bet shoved all in for 271,000 in the big blind and Li asked for a count before making the call.
Baitai Li: 
Hon Cheong Lee:

and Li took the lead with a pair of nines. The 
and 
runout would not help Lee as he became the next player to fall.
