Li Wins Unconventional Battle of the Blinds

TerranceReid

Nível 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action folded around to the two players in the blinds, Matthew Kschinka in the small and Nan Li in the big. Kschinka raised to 10,500, 17.5 times the big blind.

Li and Kschinka both were playing similar stacks, about 60,000 each. Li decided to move all in, barely covering Kschinka. Kschinka thought about the spot that even solvers have yet to touch, and decided to make the call.

Nan Li:
Matthew Kschinka:

All in with two hundred big blinds on the line, the flop showed up to give Li the full house and end Kschinka's tournament.

Kschinka sat in disbelief for about a minute while he watched Li stack his chips. Once he left the table, Li provided some history.

"I doubled him up earlier when he cracked my aces with five-six off. Plus, he was going all in blind multiple times," shared Li.

However they got there, Li found himself with double a starting stack and Kscinka with a Main Event bad-beat story.

Some details of the hand were provided by Li and tablemates

Hong checked on a flop of and called when his opponent continued for 3,700.

The turn saw Hong check for a second time and his opponent again bet, this time a much chunkier 11,400. Hong counted out his stack before announcing all in for 28,700. The late position player did not appear happy but made the call.

Jinho Hong:
Late Position Player:

Though Hong was ahead, he would need to fade a significant number of outs heading to the river. Unfortunately for him he was unable to do so as the landed on the felt, eliciting cries of "Yes! Yes! Yes!" from the late position player. Hong, meanwhile, who, after taking down the Wynn Summer Classic $3,500 NLH Championship last week said he had his eyes set on the Main Event bracelet, will have to wait for another year to take his shot at poker immortality.
