Naoki Morita takes it from Andy Li Xueyan


Andy Li Xueyan may be the big stack at his table but Naoki Morita certainly won’t let that intimidate him. On a flop of 8 9 A, Xueyan checked to Morita who banged out a 13k bet. Xueyan called and the turn came 7. Both players opted to check for a free river card K. Xueyan bet 30.5k, Morita jammed it all in, and Xueyan quickly folded. Xueyan’s cards accidentally opened up, A-Q.

Not long after, Norita railed a player to climb event higher. He is now at 315k.
