Held Scores Big Double to Leave Li on Fumes
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pei Li raised to 100,000 from the button before Konstantin Held chose to jam from the small blind for 1,180,000. Li called to create a big pot with Held at risk.
Konstantin Held: K♦Q♦
Pei Li: K♣J♠
Held enjoyed a sizeable lead over Li with the better king, and the flop only increased Held's chances as it came 9♣4♦9♦ to give Held a flush draw.
The 3♦ on the turn improved Held to a flush to end the hand as the compulsory 8♥ hit the river to complete the board.
