Wolff Defeats Li

Level 1 : 200/300, 0 ante

George Wolff has become the first player to win his play-in match after defeating Yingui Li. It was a result of two big pots that saw Li's stack reduced to zero.

In the first hand, Wolff opened and called a three-bet from 800 to 2,700 and Wolff called. On the {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, Li continued for 1,700 and picked up a call before firing another 7,000 on the {7-Diamonds} turn. Wolff reluctantly called and Li then bet the {8-Clubs} river for 20,000. This time, Wolff instantly called and Li showed {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for turned two pair.

Wolff had that beat with {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for rivered two pair.

Soon after, both players flopped trips eights and Wolff had the best of it with {k-}{8-} versus {10-}{8-}, even filling up to a full house.
