Leandro Dirlewanger opened 12,000 under the gun, and Fabian Niederreiter three-bet 35,000 next to act. Zhongxian Li was to his immediate left and took about 15 seconds before putting in a four-bet to 110,000. Dirlewanger quickly got out of the way, and the action was back on Niederreiter.
"How much are you playing?" Asked Niederreiter.
"About 320,000," Li responded.
After a few more moments, Niederreiter announced all-in.
Li went deep into the tank, beginning to talk to himself, "I have never folded this hand. I don't think I can."
He continued to tank for a few minutes before time was called. As the 30 second count down began, Li made the call.
Zhongxian Li: K?K?
Fabian Niederreiter: A?A?
It was the ultimate cooler on the bubble for Li, and the board ran out A?Q?3?7?8?, for Niederreiter to improve to a set of aces and eliminate Li.
