Li Gaining Momentum
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Vasyl Chubei in the hijack who raised all in for 11,000, and once it folded to the big blind Yang Li who quickly made the call.
Vasyl Chubei: 8♠7♠ 
Yang Li: 9♥9♣
Li had Chubei in a world of hurt, although he was able to pick up outs after the 6♣A♣7♦ flop. However when the K♠ on the turn hit, and the 5♣ on the river, Li's pocket nines were still best, to take the pot and eliminate Chubei.
