Huge Double-Up for Li

Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 150,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Shankui Li all-in for 785,000 and at risk versus Aliaksandr Shylko, who just covered him.
Shankui Li: A?K?
Aliaksandr Shylko: K?K?
Li was in trouble with a single overcard versus Shylko's pocket kings, but the ace was in the window on the A?9?8? flop. Shylko was now drawing thin to two outs or running diamonds, and the 9?Q? turn and river confirmed the pot was heading to Li.
