Li Crushes Blondel in Blind vs. Blind All-in Battle

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Yan Li
Yan Li

Yan Li missed the first hand played at her table arriving just after. Good timing on her part as the second time the blinds came around turned her tournament around quite significantly.

From the small blind, Li opened to 65,000 and got three-bet by Thibaut Blondel out of the big blind to 180,000. Li took no time asking for the all-in triangle and Blondel took even less time tossing in a calling chip.

Li: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Blondel: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Li was in bad shape being covered and out-kicked by Blondel. The {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, however, gave her outs to a straight and she wouldn't have to sweat long finding an {8-Spades} on the turn.

Li faded the {9-Diamonds} on the river to score the double up and vault into the chip lead with Hata and Guo.
