Action folded to Xiantong Li in the Small Blind, who only called the Big Blind. Daniel Vargas wouldn’t allow it, though, and he raised to 15,000. Li made the call.
First to act, Li checked on the 7♥A♦6♦ flop. Vargas bet 20,000, and Li made the call. The turn was the 5♠, and Li checked again, prior to Vargas betting 30,000. After a minute’s worth of consideration, Li put in a raise to 62,000, leaving himself with only 15,000 behind. Vargas took his time before forcing his opponent all in. Li made the call as fast as humanly possible.
Daniel Vargas: A♣K♥
Xiantong Li: 9♠8♥
Vargas was drawing dead against Li’s turned straight. The 4♥ on the river was a pure formality, and Li doubled up.
Xiantong Li: 229,000
Daniel Vargas: 165,000
