Vitaliy Li Eliminated in 12th Place (RUB 2,055,000)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Vitaliy Li

The action started with a raise to 46,000 by Pavel Shirshikov in the cutoff and Vitaliy Li three-bet to 120,000 on the button. Daniyar Aubakirov four-bet to 275,000 in the small blind, which he had done so twice earlier already, and the action was back on Shirshikov.

He gave it some thought and the clock was requested on him. It was not enforced just yet, though, and when the one minute countdown was about to start, Shirshikov five-bet to 477,000. Li quickly announced all in and Aubakirov sighed, but folded in a few seconds. Shirshikov snap-called and the cards were tabled.

Pavel Shirshikov: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Vitaliy Li: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades} left Li in even more desperate shape, as he needed running kings for quads to survive. It was all over after the {8-Hearts} turn, making the {5-Hearts} river a formality. The stacks were counted and Shirshikov had 1,160,000, while Li was covered by just 10,000 to hit the rail in 12th place. Li receives RUB 2,055,000 for his efforts, which equals around $36,361.
