Li Surges After Three Knockouts
The players are down to the final three tables, and they can thank WSOP bracelet winner Pei Li for getting them there.
In a span of three out of five hands, Li knocked out three players by himself.
In the first hand, he raised under the gun and was re-raised all-in by the big blind. Li quickly called and the cards were tabled.
Li: 10♠10♦
Opponent: A♥9♠
The board ran out 5♠6♥J♠J♥6♥, giving Li the hand and sending his opponent to the rail.
On the very next hand, a player on the button went all in and Li made an instant call and tabled K♥K♦ even before his opponent tabled A♥10♣.
The dealer fanned out 8♥2♦9♠5♣4♥, which saw Li responsible for consecutive knockouts.
Two hands later, Li took out a third player with 10♥10♠.
The three hands are directly responsible for Li’s stack expanding just minutes before the players broke down for the final three.
