Liangqiang Pang opened to 13,000 in cutoff and got a three-bet to 37,000 by Dong Li on the button. Pang waited until the last 5 seconds before announcing all-in for 495,000.

Li asked for a count, then counted his own chips...once... twice... checked his cards and looked as his chips once again, before randomly picking up a stack and jamming it in the middle of the table to the audible surprise of the whole table. He had Pang covered.

Liangqiang Pang: K 6

Dong Li: A K

Another groan of surprise was heard when the cards were tabled.

The flop came A 6 J . Li's lead was strengthened but Pang, having hit bottom pair, still had a chance of turning things around. He tried to stand up and prepare to leave but was forced to sit back down as people crowded around the table.

The turn brought the 8 , offering no help to Pang.

When the river fell 5 , a collective moan rose from the table and the rail as Pang made his exit, and the crowd slowly dispersed in preparation for the next hand.

There are 257 players left.
