Diego Zeiter took on the chip monster that it Bjorn Li, out of position, and managed to win a pot that he could've easily lost.
Li raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Zeiter peeled from the big blind to see a . Zeiter double-donk-led two streets with a 10,500 on the flop and a 24,500 bet on the turn. Li called both bets to head to the river where his opponent slowed to a check. He thought about betting but checked behind.
Zeiter opened and Li winced, as he knew a bet would've won him the pot. No need to worry too much as he's still on 650,000 chips.
