Deepstack (KRW 100M GTD) Final

Blinds 20,000/40,000 Ante 40,000

Xiaolu Li pushed all his 610,000 chips from the cutoff. When it got to Chen Shen Chua at the big blind, he tanked for a while before finally making the call.

Nothing hit for both players, but the ace-high of Chen Shen Chua was enough to take down the huge pot and eliminate Xiaolu Li at 15th place. Xiaolu Li takes home a payout of KRW 3,220,000 (~USD 2,400), which can buy really good seats at a World Cup match.
