Aces Are a Pertea Hand, But Not Against Song
Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Stephen Song completed in the small blind and Marius-Catalin Pertea raised to 1,500,000 in the big blind. Song called.
Song checked on the flop of J♥7♥5♥ and Pertea continued for 3,000,000. Song used a time bank before raising all in for 12,750,000 to bring a quick call from Pertea.
Stephen Song: A♥9♠ 
Marius-Catalin Pertea: A♠A♦
Song had outs to the nut flush to crack aces and that's exactly what happened as the board finished out 7♣8♥ to bring Song another unlikely double.
