Lifu Doubles Through Li
It looked like the final table was about to become a six-handed affair with Liu Lifu moving all-in for his last 840,000 from the button and getting a quick call from chip leader Longyun Li and the cards were turned over.
Liu Lifu: 
Longyun Li: 
Lifu was racing for his tournament life with two overcards against the pocket pair of Li and the 
flop was not a good one. The 
turn saw Lifu teeter on the edge of elimination before the 
hit the river to grant Lifu the much needed double. Lifu climbed to 1.7 million after that timely catch while Li dropped down to 3.9 million but still held the chip lead.
