Narula Picks Off Li

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Vijay Narula

We arrived at Vijay Narula’s table just in time to see the Australian-based Indian player open the action to 550 from early position, picking up a caller in Zhe Li on the button before the big blind squeezed to 2,600.

Both Narula and Li called quickly and it went three-way to a flop of {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The big blind checked, Narula led out for 3,800, Li called the button and the big blind folded to take the action heads-up to the {6-Hearts} turn.

This brought checks from both Narula and Li and the dealer peeled off the {a-Hearts} river card. Narula led for 4,000 and Li hit the think tank hard. It was a good two minutes of solid tanking before Li reached for chips, but they were not for calling with and he raised to 12,000 in total.

Narula thought it over but evidently was not a believer and made the call. Li rolled over {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} but this was not enough to best Narula’s {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and the Indian player scooped a sizable pot.
