Huge Double-Up for Li
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 150,000 ante
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Shankui Li all-in for 785,000 and at risk versus Aliaksandr Shylko, who just covered him.
Shankui Li: A♣K♣ 
Aliaksandr Shylko: K♦K♥
Li was in trouble with a single overcard versus Shylko's pocket kings, but the ace was in the window on the A♥9♦8♦ flop. Shylko was now drawing thin to two outs or running diamonds, and the 9♣Q♦ turn and river confirmed the pot was heading to Li.
