Li Wins Unconventional Battle of the Blinds

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action folded around to the two players in the blinds, Matthew Kschinka in the small and Nan Li in the big. Kschinka raised to 10,500, 17.5 times the big blind.

Li and Kschinka both were playing similar stacks, about 60,000 each. Li decided to move all in, barely covering Kschinka. Kschinka thought about the spot that even solvers have yet to touch, and decided to make the call.

Nan Li: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Matthew Kschinka: {10-}{10-}

All in with two hundred big blinds on the line, the flop showed up {q-}{8-}{4-}{q-}{2-} to give Li the full house and end Kschinka's tournament.

Kschinka sat in disbelief for about a minute while he watched Li stack his chips. Once he left the table, Li provided some history.

"I doubled him up earlier when he cracked my aces with five-six off. Plus, he was going all in blind multiple times," shared Li.

However they got there, Li found himself with double a starting stack and Kscinka with a Main Event bad-beat story.

Some details of the hand were provided by Li and tablemates
