Song Widens the Gap
Marius-Catalin Pertea A?J? raised to 450,000 from middle position. Alexandre Fournier A?8? three-bet to 1,400,000 from the small blind. Pertea called with his superior ace. Neither player connected on the K?7?6? flop, with Pertea's kicker keeping him ahead. Fournier bet 700,000 and folded out the better hand.
Stephen Song 10?8? made it 400,000 from early position before Pertea A?K? jammed for 3,100,000 from the next seat over. Action folded back to Song, who also released his hand.
Song J?10? opened to 400,000 on the next deal. Boris Kuzmanovic folded 5?5? from the hijack. David Coleman 6?5? defended his big blind. Coleman had a gutshot on the Q?8?4? flop but Song's high card kept the latter ahead. Coleman check-called for 400,000, bringing in the 4? turn. Coleman was forced out of the pot after Song sized up to 1,200,000
