Song's Stack Soars After Hero Call Goes Wrong
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tomoki Matsuda opened to 120,000 and was called by Stephen Song in the big blind.
Song checked to Matsuda on the 10♥5♠Q♥ flop and he continued for 115,000. Song then check-raised to 375,000 and Matsuda called.
Matsuda called a 650,000 bet from Song on the 2♦ turn and Song announced he was all in on the 6♦ river, which was enough to put Matsuda all in for his last 1,700,000.
Matsuda went deep into the tank and the clock was called after about eight minutes.
The floor counted Matsuda down from five seconds and Matsuda stuck in a call at the last moment.
Song turned over Q♦10♠ for top two pair and Matsuda showed he called with A♦K♠ for just ace-high — eliminating him from the tournament and sending the massive pot Song's way.
