Unusual Three Streets of Value for Song

Kevin Song raised to 1,700 under the gun and the button re-raised to 3,000. Song made the call and then check-called his opponent’s bet of 3,000 on the {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop. On the {9-Spades} turn, Song again check-called a bet, this time for 5,000. When the {8-Diamonds} hit the river, Song checked one last time and his opponent threw in a final bet of 5,000.

Song took a minute or two before he eventually made the call and the button said, “Good call, king high” as he showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Song was a bit confused at first as he thought he heard king-nine which would have been trips but then realized this wasn’t the case and the {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for jacks up that he turned over was good to win the pot.
