Li's Pocket Sevens Counterfeited
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Zheng Li opened to 325,000 in middle position and Jared Henry on the button reraised 525,000. Joel Larson in the big blind four-bet all-in to 1,400,000.
Li replied with his own all-in jam for 3,375,000 pushing Henry out and taking Larson to a showdown.
Joel Larson: Q♥10♥
Zheng Li: 7♦7♣
Li told the dealer to wait until he got on his feet. Once done, the dealer flopped 8♥J♣K♣. Li was anxious and visibly praying for none of Larson's over cards to hit.
The turn was another K♠ and the river a J♦ creating a higher pair on the board counterfeiting Li's pocket pair, and giving the pot to Larson for a double.
