Li Leaps in to Lead After Busting Kihara

Yuguang Li has taken over the chip lead after getting Naoya to call off his stack on the river with a worse hand.

Li (cutoff) called a 1,000 under the gun raise before Kihara squeezed to 4,400 from the blinds. The original raiser folded but Li called to see a flop. Kihara continued for 4,200 and was called before he checked the turn. Li bet 7,000 and Naoya called. The river was the and Li set Kihara in for his remaining chips. The PokerStars Team Online player tanked for a while before calling off with ace-king. It was no good though as Li opened for a flopped two pair.
