Thiriat Sets a Trap For Song in Lengthy Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Arthur Thiriart raised to 700 in early position before Stephen Song three-bet to 2,500 in the hijack. Philippe Barouk called on the button, but Thiriart put in a four-bet to 7,200. Song then five-bet to 12,000.
There was a dispute over how much the legal raise was and it took a few minutes before it was resolved and Song's raise stood. Barouk got out of the way, but Thiriart stuck around to see the 7♥Q♣7♠ flop.
Song continued for 3,000 and Thiriart called. The turn was the 7♦ and Song bet another 6,000. Thiriart again called and checked to Song on the 8♣ river, and this time Song checked back.
Thiriart turned over Q♥Q♦ for a flopped full house and Song mucked to surrender a pot that took nearly 10 minutes.
