Qien Picks Off Li
Huang Qien made it 135,000 to go from the cutoff with both Liu Lifu (button) and Longyun Li (big blind) making the call to take the action three-way to a flop of 
.
This brought a check from Li and a c-bet of 155,000 from Qien. While this was enough to get Lifu to fold, with chips to spare Li made the call to take the action heads-up to the 
turn.
Li checked it over to Qien, who seemed skittish about bloating the pot and tanked for a couple of minutes before opting to check it back and the dealer turned over the 
river.
Li now led for 340,000, which put Qien in a tough spot as with around 800,000 behind this was nearly half of his remaining chips. Eventually, though Qien made up his mind and slammed down the call.
Li sheepishly turned over 
for the missed diamond draw, meaning Qien��s 
was enough to win him a decent sized pot and he climbed to just over 2 million while Li dropped to 3.9 million.
