One More Double for Li
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jiaze Li opened to 80,000 in early position with A♥A♣ and was called by Hong Pham and Francis Obadun in the blinds with Q♣J♣ and K♠7♥ respectively. The flop fell Q♥9♠3♠ and the action checked to Li who continued with a bet of 125,000. Pham called and Obadun got out of the way.
The turn brought the 8♠ and Pham checked again. Li counted out a bet of 300,000 and Pham check-raised all in. Li had a decision to make with 405,000 behind and eventually made the call.
The river was the 4♥ and Li's aces held on for a double-up through Pham, swapping stacks with the former chip leader.
