Red Dragon Championship (2,000,000 KRW)

A blind vs blind battle landed both stacks in the middle, Valery Li being at risk for his last 205,000 against Lei Yu. Li managed to outflop his opponent on 9♣ 3♣ 4♦ , but was entirely crushed as the runout A♥ 4♠ landed Yu a boat to turn it back in his favor.

Valery Li opened on the button and called a 200,000 three bet from big blind Ye Li. On flop A♣ 4♣ 6♥ , Ye Li bet 150,000, and followed with an all-in for 240,000 on turn 9♥ . Valery Li called one street but gave it up after Ye Li proceeded with aggression.

A preflop back and forth saw Valery Li make the final call for his entire 450,000 against Xiaqing Ji. Dominated, Ji handed nearly half his stack as board 3♠ 9♣ Q♥ T♠ 9♥ rolled on the felt.

Three players battled for a 60,000 pot on flop 7♣ 3♣ 6♠ . William Teoh led all-in for 26,000, called behind by raiser Jieming Xu. Action back to Valery Li on the small blind, he raised all-in, isolating Teoh successfully.

Teoh T♣ 9♦

Li Q♠ Q♦

With only four outs to keep him alive, Teoh was in luck to see the runout land K♥ 8♠ , with the river completing his straight to earn the triple up.
