Li Drills the River to Send Ma Packing
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Heads up to the 9♦8♠J♥ flop with 150,000 in the pot, Stephen Ma jammed all in from early position for around 300,000. Action was on Xiupu Li in late position, who went into the tank briefly before he made the call to put Ma at risk.
Stephen Ma : J♣3♣
Xiupu Li: 10♥10♠
Ma was looking good for a double-up but had outs to dodge. The 3♦ turn changed nothing, but when the Q♥ peeled off on the river and made Li his straight, Ma was sent to the rail with Li climbing closer to the two million chip mark.
