Yingmeng Li

Yingmeng Li entered the day with a very healthy stack but within the past two levels, he dropped to just 100,000 (4 bb) and went all in holding a desperate J ♦️ 5 ♦️. At small blind, Gleb Ershov called and had Li dominated with K ♠️ Q ♣️. 

The flop ran dry for Li but with the turn pairing him up and holding through the runout A ♦️ 8 ♥️ 2 ♣️ J ♠️ 8 ♠️, Li was given another lifeline, though still very short. 

PLAYER CHIP COUNT
Yingmeng Li 260,000
Gleb Ershov 880,000
