Li With a Big Breath of Life

Hand 1

Danning Li and the player to his left were both short stacked and all in.

Opponent: 3♦3♠
Danning Li: A♥7♣

The fop fanned out 4♠7♥Q♣, pulling Li ahead with a pair of sevens. He even further improved when the 7♠ peeled and the Q♥ on the river sealed the deal for Li and gave him a stack to work with.

Hand 2

Just an orbit or so later, Li was heads up against Ramon Wicki on a board reading Q♦5♣4♣. Li didn't have much behind and when Wicki asked for all of it, both players obliged.

Danning Li: J♥J♠
Ramon Wicki: K♥K♦

Li's pair of jacks stayed far behind with the 7♥ on the turn, but when the J♦ peeled off on the river, Li exclaimed, "Yeah, baby! Do it like that once in a while!"

Wicki was left to lick his wounds, as he would have had a massive stack if he held.
