Shankui Li opened to 80,000 from early position and Stoyan Madanzhiev defended in the big blind.
On the J♥6♠4♠ flop, Madanzhiev check-called versus a bet of 60,000 from Li.
The 10♣ turn was checked through. On the 3♣ river, Madanzhiev led out with a bet of 55,000, and was faced with a raise to 200,000 from Li.
Madanzhiev thought it through and made the call. Li tabled Q♠7♠ for queen-high, and Madanzhiev had found a good call with K♥4♣ for a pair of fours, for fourth pair.
