Oie checked the 2♥ river and Li shoved for Oie's remaining 19,300. Oie didn't take long to make the call and Li turned over 7x4x for just a pair of sevens. Oie showed K♠8♣ for top pair to take down the pot and double up.
The pot stood at approximately 25,000 with two players looking at a completed board of 2♠7♦10♠K♦A♥.
Nikolay Yosifov, in the big blind, bet out 20,000. Fabio Peluso, in the hijack, went deep into the tank, contemplating the decision for his effective stack of 15,500.
