Pertea Gets Two Better Hands to Fold
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Boris Kuzmanovic A♠5♠ raised to 600,000 from the cutoff and folded out the button and blinds.
Kuzmanovic A♥10♦ opened to 600,000 once more. Stephen Song 10♥10♣ used two time banks before three-betting to 2,200,000 from the small blind. Kuzmanovic released his hand.
Andrew Hulme A♠Q♠ made it 600,000 from the hijack and Song 4♠4♥ called from the button. Marius-Catalin Pertea J♦10♣ also came along from the small blind.
Song's small pair remained in front following the 8♣8♠2♠ flop and he bet 500,000 after the action checked to him. Pertea looked to leverage his big stack and raised it to 2,200,000, which folded out Hulme's nut flush draw. Song then also returned his cards to the dealer.
