Hand #34

Hand #34 - Jason Song has the button in seat 5, Fineman raises from late position to 60,000, winning the blinds and antes.

Hand #33

Hand #33 - Dustin Holmes has the button in seat 4, and everyone folds to Richey, giving him a walk in the big blind. Richey shows {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} as he collects the pot.

Hand #32 - Jason Song Doubles Through Dustin Holmes

Hand #32 - Ben Fineman has the button in seat 3, Holmes raises from the small blind to 55,000, Song thinks for about a minute before he moves all in from the big blind for 216,000, and Holmes thinks for another minute before he calls with {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Song shows {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}, and he's in a good position to double up here.

The board comes {J-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, and Song wins the pot with two pair (queens and jacks) to double up in chips.
