Huang Is King

The action started with PokerStars Team Pro Bryan Huang raising to 1,400 from under the gun plus one. His opponent to his immediate left made the call before Yuguang Li bumped it up to 3,900 from the button. Huang made the call before the player to his left raised it once more to 8,900. Li thought about his decision before tossing in another raise totalling 18,900 in chips.

Huang was taken back by all the action but eventually moved all in for 34,825 after summing up the play. The player to his left flung back in his chair, not expecting the raise.

“I wasn’t worried about him,” said Huang, whose main focus was on Li’s eventual decision.

The player to Huang’s left folded before Li asked for a count.

“No snap call? I feel better now,” cheered Huang, as he watched the dealer cut out his stack.

Li then made the call and both players tabled their cards.
