board. His opponent in the big blind bet out 1,500. He reached down for his chips and raised it up to 5,000 which was called instantly before both players watched the
complete the board.
Li didn't hesitate, betting out 11,000. His opponent sat back in his chair in disbelief and pondered his next move.
“Pocket aces no good?” his opponent asked.
“Two pair? I beat a set!” he added.
A few minutes passed before Li called time on his opponent. With 15 seconds left of his allocated minute remaining, Li’s opponent mucked his ![]()
which was a straight relinquishing the pot to Li.
With that pot Li moves up to 90,000 in chips - a monster stack at just the halfway point of the day.
