Gutierrez Makes the Right Check-Back Against Song
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
In a pot that had around 30,000 in the middle on a flop of 8?3?8?, action was picked up with Stephen Song checking from under the gun and Elias Gutierrez firing a bet of 15,000 on the button. Song called.
A Q? dropped on the turn and after Song checked, Gutierrez bet 30,000. Song took his time, but eventually called.
The 5? completed the board on the river and Song checked for a third time. Gutierrez used some extra time before he knuckled back.
Song showed A?Q? for a pair of queens, and Gutierrez mucked.
"I wasn't folding," said Song.
"It would have been on camera too, I would have snap-called," he added in reference to the TV crew recording the action.
