Li Takes an Unorthodox Line
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action was opened by Yingui Li in late position who bet 2,000. The button then three-bet to 6,500. Li called.
The Q♠J♠3♠ flop landed and without thinking for more than a few seconds Li led for 8,000. The preflop three-bettor thought for a moment and made the call.
The turn brought in a fourth spade with the 8♠. This time Li opted to slow down and check. The button thought it over but checked behind.
The 4♦ river landed and now Li put his foot back on the gas and led for 13,500. The button snap folded but Li would say later that he turned the nuts and played it tricky.
