Melnyk Takes from Li
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to Pei Li in the hijack, who pumped it up to 60,000 to play only to face a three-bet from Liubomyr Melnyk in the cutoff to 170,000.
Li made the call and the dealer peeled off the flop of A♥2♠K♦. Li check-called Melnyk's continuation-bet of 115,000 for the players to see the 7♣ roll off on the turn.
The action went check check as it did on the 5♥ river and Li tabled K♠Q♣ but was crushed by Melnyk's A♦9♥ and Melnyk was shipped the pot.
