Nazarenko Continues to Build Big Stack and Knocks Out Li
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ruslan Nazarenko opened to 20,000 from the hijack before Yingui Li decided to play for it all with an all-in for 93,000. Nazarenko paused a moment before making the call to put Li at risk.
Yingui Li: A♥5♦
Ruslan Nazarenko: K♠6♦
Li held the best hand preflop, but the flop was not in his favor as it came 9♠K♥J♦ to give Nazarenko the lead.
The 5♥ turn gave Li some additional outs, but the 8♣ river did not deliver on any of those outs to send Li out of the tournament.
Nazarenko, with that knockout, is nearing the million chip mark as he continues to build a formidable stack.
