Li Busts Before Break

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Yuan Li
Yuan Li

The nine remaining High Rollers are now on a 15-minute break. There would have been ten but Yuan Li has just fallen at the hands of Phanlert Sukonthachartnant on the very last hand of level 15.

Play became a cagey affair once the ten-handed table started and while there was a bit of blind and ante swapping there were no major pots until the very last second.

Pre-flop it was Li who orchestrated his own demise with a raise to 14,000 from middle position with neighbor Sukonthachartnant making the call.

Li led the {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop for 16,000 and Sukonthachartnant made the call once more to bring in the {2-Clubs} turn. Li did not look like he was all that keen on getting called and checked the action over to Sukonthachartnant who, perhaps sensing weakness, moved all-in.

Li tanked for what felt like an eternity but was realistically only a couple of minutes before making the call for the last of his chips and the cards were turned over.

Yuan Li: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Phanlert Sukonthachartnant: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

While Li had a pair it was not as big as Sukonthachartnant’s and the {8-Hearts} river was of no help meaning we lose another and are just 3 spots off the money.
