Li Gets Sucked Out of the Tournament
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In an earlier post, it was mentioned that Henry Li had been eliminated from the Main Event. He was kind enough to stop by the PokerNews desk to tell how it had happened.
Charles Melton raised to 80,000 from the button and Li three-bet jammed 840,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Melton made the call.
Henry Li: 10?10?
Charles Melton: 8x8x
The flop remained clean for Li with A?K?9?, but the turn spelled disaster when the 8? gave Melton a set. No ten arrived on the K? river and Li was ousted from the tournament.
To add some salt to the wound, someone mentioned they had folded an eight preflop, making Li's bad beat a pure one-outer.
