Li Continues Upwards Climb
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
After Nolan King raised to 300,000 from the button, Pei ''Jerry'' Li three-bet to 1,100,000 from the small blind. The big blind, Raul Esquivel, called and King folded.
The 
flop got a lead of 450,000 from Li and a call from Esquivel.
turn drew another bet from Li, 1,400,000, which was called.
On a 
river, Li then bet 3,000,000 or so and Esquivel went in to the tank, shaking his head before letting his hand go. Li's rail birds clapped as he pulled in yet another pot, giving him a commanding position over the final three.
