Li Busts Before Break
The nine remaining High Rollers are now on a 15-minute break. There would have been ten but Yuan Li has just fallen at the hands of Phanlert Sukonthachartnant on the very last hand of level 15.
Play became a cagey affair once the ten-handed table started and while there was a bit of blind and ante swapping there were no major pots until the very last second.
Pre-flop it was Li who orchestrated his own demise with a raise to 14,000 from middle position with neighbor Sukonthachartnant making the call.
Li led the 
flop for 16,000 and Sukonthachartnant made the call once more to bring in the 
turn. Li did not look like he was all that keen on getting called and checked the action over to Sukonthachartnant who, perhaps sensing weakness, moved all-in.
Li tanked for what felt like an eternity but was realistically only a couple of minutes before making the call for the last of his chips and the cards were turned over.
Yuan Li: 
Phanlert Sukonthachartnant: 
While Li had a pair it was not as big as Sukonthachartnant��s and the 
river was of no help meaning we lose another and are just 3 spots off the money.
