Stephen Song Q♣J♦ opened to 500,000 from early position before Rania Nasreddine A♣Q♥ three-bet to 1,300,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way, and Song followed suit.

Marius-Catalin Pertea Q♠Q♦ raised to 550,000 from early position. Nasreddine K♦8♦ used a time bank to weigh her options before folding. The rest of the table got out of the way, and Pertea picked up the pot.
