Song Widens the Gap
Marius-Catalin Pertea A♥J♥ raised to 450,000 from middle position. Alexandre Fournier A♣8♣ three-bet to 1,400,000 from the small blind. Pertea called with his superior ace. Neither player connected on the K♠7♦6♣ flop, with Pertea's kicker keeping him ahead. Fournier bet 700,000 and folded out the better hand.
Stephen Song 10♣8♣ made it 400,000 from early position before Pertea A♠K♠ jammed for 3,100,000 from the next seat over. Action folded back to Song, who also released his hand.
Song J♣10♣ opened to 400,000 on the next deal. Boris Kuzmanovic folded 5♥5♣ from the hijack. David Coleman 6♠5♠ defended his big blind. Coleman had a gutshot on the Q♦8♦4♠ flop but Song's high card kept the latter ahead. Coleman check-called for 400,000, bringing in the 4♥ turn. Coleman was forced out of the pot after Song sized up to 1,200,000
