Melvyn Liwanpo

Ge Dong Li raised to 4,000 in the hijack with around 75,000 behind and Melvyn Liwanpo three-bet to 11,000 on the button for the second time in a row. It folded back to Li who spread out his time bank extensions.

"Careful playing out of position," Liwanpo joked and Li smirked back. He used one time bank and then jammed, Liwanpo snap-called.

"Aces again?" Li asked and Liwanpo shook his head.

Ge Dong Li: A ♥️ K ♦️

Melvyn Liwanpo: 8 ♠️ 8 ♣️

The pair had to dodge a lot of outs on the J ♦️ 9 ♦️ 3 ♦️ J ♠️ 4 ♥️ board but Li couldn't improve.

Melvyn Liwanpo 315,000
