Song Can Not Be Stopped
Aliaksandr Shylko made it 40,000 to go in the hijack with Q♥J♣. Fabiano Kovalski called on the button with A♦10♠ and Stephen Song defended his big blind with A♣6♣.
The 3♣6♥A♥ flop saw Shylko continue for 40,000 after Song had checked. Kovalski bumped that up to 140,000 with his top pair, after which Song three-bet to 325,000.
Shylko quickly folded his queen-high but Kovalski stuck around and called. The 6♠ turn upgraded Song to a full house. He used a time bank before slowplaying and checking to Kovalski.
Kovalski quickly checked back to see the 9♠ appear on the river. Song spent another time extension and fired 275,000 in the middle thereafter.
Kovalski called it off but saw the bad news at showdown and added his cards to the muck. Song, meanwhile, soared even higher up the ranks and ended up with more than 4,000,000 in chips.
