Big Slick Topples the Hooks
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Julius Malzanini opened to 51,000 from under-the-gun only to be three-bet one seat over by Aymon Hata. Hata bumped it up to 108,000 but Yan Li wasn't having any of that. Li four-bet jammed, having both players covered.
Malzanini went into the tank for a moment before reluctantly letting it go. Hata grabbed a handful of chips and set them down in front of him, making a call for his tournament life.

Hata smashed the flop, taking a big lead with two pair. Li needed a jack or running cards to pause the clock on Day 4 but the turn �� and river �� were no help and Hata survived, vaulting up the chip counts.
