Liu Lifu Eliminated in 4th Place (HK$462,000)
As the final tables shortest stack Liu Lifu had been playing quite snug and had dropped to 1.2 million. The action was 10-minutes into the new level when the action folded around to the Chinese player on the button. Lifu peeked down at his cards and declared himself all-in and big blind Longyun Li asked for a count.
Lifu had exactly 1.2 million and Li, who had chips to spare with roughly 5.7 million, thought it over and evidently thought the opportunity to take play three-handed was one he could not pass up on and slammed down a huge tower of pink 25k chips to represent the call and the hands were turned face-up.
Liu Lifu: 
Longyun Li: 
While Lifu grimaced as soon as Li made the call his ace-high was actually the best hand, that was until the flop fell 
, giving Li the lead and leaving Lifu teetering on the brink of elimination.
The 
turn was the final nail in Lifu��s coffin and left him drawing dead, meaning the 
river, while giving Lifu top pair, was irrelevant.
That took the action three-way and Li stacked up to a little over 6 million while Li headed for the rail, stopping by the cash desk to collect the equivalent of US$59,273.
