Li Rebuilds Bigger and Stronger

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Baitai Li
Baitai Li

At the end of Level 12, Baitai Li was sitting with 540,000 in chips. He lost more than half of them but then got them all back all in Level 13.

In a recent hand, the under-the-gun player limped and Bryan Miller raised to 7,000. Bin Weng called from the button, Li did the same from the small blind, and the player in the big came along as well. The limper did too to make it five-way action to the {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop.

Three checks saw Miller bet 11,500 and Weng called. Li then check-raised to 37,000 and action folded back to Weng, who moved all in for what looked to be a bit over 80K. Li quickly called.

Baitai Li: {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Bin Weng: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Weng had an overpair but it was no good as Li had flopped top two pair. The {4-Diamonds} turn gave Weng a flush draw, and he hit it when the {8-Diamonds} peeled off on the river. Unfortunately for him, the same card also improved Li to a winning full house.

Leventhal Leverages Ace-King

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Barry Leventhal
Barry Leventhal

Barry Leventhal opened for 5,500 from the hijack and the player on the button called. The player in the small blind then moved all in for around 50,000 and Leventhal jammed over the top. That inspired the button to get out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Barry Leventhal: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Leventhal was ahead and locked it up on the turn as the board ran out {4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs} to ultimately give him trip kings.

Li Back on the Up and Up

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player raised under the gun and Baitai Li defended his big blind. On the {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, the two got it in with the UTG player being at risk for his last 40,000 or so.

Baitai Li: {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}
UTG: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Li flopped to pair to pull ahead of the overpair, and he held through both the {2-Spades} turn and {3-Diamonds} river to score yet another knockout.

Miller Deals a Blow to the Chip Leader

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Bryan Miller
Bryan Miller

With around 20,000 in the pot and a board reading {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, the player in the lojack checked and Bryan Miller, who earlier in the series finished fifth in the Big Stax 300 for $24,894, did the same from the hijack.

Chip leader Baitai Li then bet 10,000 from the button and only Miller called to see the {6-Hearts} turn.

Both players checked and the {9-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Miller was first to act and opted to bet 15,000, which Li raised to 40,000. Miller thought for a few beats and then announced all in, which amounted to 90,700 total.

Li looked at him suspiciously but called with his {10-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a ten-high straight. Unfortunately for him, it was no good as Miller had the {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the stone-cold nuts.

Weng Gets Lucky to Double

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Bin Weng
Bin Weng

The player in the cutoff raised to 4,400 and the small blind called. Bin Weng then three-bet jammed for 30,500 from the big blind, the original raiser folded, and the small blind thought for a bit before dropping in a call.

Bin Weng: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}
Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Weng was in bad shape but he took the lead by pairing his eight on the {8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop.

The {5-Spades} turn gave him an added flush draw and he made it when the {4-Spades} river put three spades on the board to go along with the two in his hand. Ship the double to Weng!

Baitai Li Clear Chip Leader

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Baitai Li
Baitai Li

Baitai Li isn't afraid to mix it up and today it's paying off as he's not only the clear chip leader in the Day 1b field, he already has more than 100K than the Day 1a chip leader.

There's still three more levels to play tonight, so only time will tell if he either maintains, drops some, or perhaps adds to it even more!
