Smith Triples; Li Doubles
Zurvan Tumboli went all-in from the hijack position before Danette Smith committed her stack of 700,000 from the small blind. Fred Li went all-in for 1,450,000 from the big blind, and Tumboli called to put both at risk.
Danette Smith: 7♦7♣
Fred Li: A♦J♠
Zurvan Tumboli: 8♥8♣
Tumboli had the best pair, but Li was drawing live with his overcards, while Smith brought up the rear with her pocket sevens.
The flop was a favorable one for Li when it came A♣J♣3♥ to give Li top two pair.
Smith found lightning in a bottle when the 7♠ turn came as she hit her two outer to improve to a set.
The 5♣ river completed the board as Smith secured the main pot with a triple up, while Li got his chips back by winning the side pot.
Tumboli was stuck paying the bill.
