Li Plays Nice With Tkatschew
Level 2
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Alexander Tkatschew, who finished third in the Main Event in 2021, bet 1,000 from the hijack on a board of 2♠A♣A♥A♠ and Ka Ming Li called in the cutoff.
The river came the 9♦ and Tkatschew bet 9,500. Li leaned back in his chair as he tanked for a minute, eventually deciding to fold.
"Take it down on the river," Li said to Tkatschew, who winked over at him as he took the pot.
"You're nice to me. Pocket nines," Tkatschew asked Li, who shook his head.
