Pei Li Eliminated in 11th Place ($26,223)
Level 38
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
WSOP Bracelet winner Pei Li went on a run during the early evening hours and he appeared on track to make the final table.
But a single hand changed everything.
After the action folded to Li in late position, he moved all in for a little more than 16,000,000. Jefferson Guerrero, who had Li covered, took one peek at his cards in the big blind and quickly announced a call.
Li saw the bad news when the cards were tabled.
Guerrero: A♥A♦
Li: A♣5♠
“Oh, no,” Li said.
The dealer placed 2♣K♠3♠ on the flop, providing Li some possibilities, especially when 6♠ appeared on the turn. But 10♥ sent Li to the rail in 11th place for $26,233, as the dealer pushed the pot to Guerrero.
