Li Scoops a Massive Pot to Take the Lead
Level 11
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Christopher Day was on the short stack with around 17,000 chips and pushed all in from the cutoff. Jiaze Li called on the button and Manh Nguyen also called from the big blind.
The flop came J♠10♥2♥ and Nguyen check-called a bet of 10,000 from Li to create a side pot. The J♦ paired the board on the turn and Nguyen checked again. Li sized up a bet of 28,000 this time and Nguyen still called.
The river was the A♠ and Nguyen checked for the third time. Li reached back for a bet of 63,000 and Nguyen mulled it over before dropping in a call. Li tabled A♣J♥ for a full house and Nguyen's A♦K♣ was not enough to beat that. Day was also eliminated after showing his Q♣J♣, sending a massive pot and the chip lead to Li.
