Song Jams Into Kulev

Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Following a flop of {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Alex Kulev checked and then called a bet worth 40,000 by Daewoong Song. The {2-Clubs} followed on the turn and Kulev checked once more for Song to then bet 45,000. Kulev used a time bank extension and check-raised to 195,000. Song, likewise, needed 30 seconds before making the call and they headed to the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

Kulev now checked and Song used another time bank before jamming. With a smile on the face hidden behind the face mask, Kulev sent his cards into the muck.

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Andras Nemeth open-jammed from the button for 153,000. Daewoong Song re-shoved his big stack from the small blind. Teun Mulder thought for several moments in the big blind but elected to not put his stack at risk and folded.

Andras Nemeth: {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Daewoong Song: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Song had the lead and a chance to trim the field further. The flop came {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} to keep him ahead but the turn was the {q-Hearts} to pair Nemeth's queen and the river was the {q-Diamonds} to give him a third lady and confirm his double up.
