According to him, Pei Li opened to 120,000 from early position and he was called by Chris Klodnicki in the hijack. Benjamin Gold in the cutoff three-bet to 260,000 was called by Li, then Klodnicki four-bet to 600,000 and made Gold fold. Li made the call.

On the flop, Klodnicki continued for 300,000 but Li check-raised all-in for 2,040,000. Klodnicki went deep into the tank, but eventually folded.

Encouraged by the other players around the table, Li revealed the Q♠.
