Yingui Li

Ryan Hoenig raised from the cutoff to 250,000, Yingui Li moved all in from the button for 1,500,000, and Hoenig called with KhKd.

Li turned over As10c, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 7c5s4d10d8s, and Li paired his ten on the turn, but improved no further. Hoenig won the pot with his pocket kings to eliminate Li in 13th place.
