Song Triples His Short Stack
At some point, Stephen Song had lost a big pot and was left with just 90,000 after climbing to nearly a million in chips earlier today.
However, in a recent hand, Henadzi Deilik opened to 60,000 from the hijack and Anthony Apicella three-bet to 150,000 from the cutoff. Song called all in from the big blind and Deilik went all in for 580,000 total. Apicella let his hand go and a showdown between Song and Deilik was held.
"I hope you have ace-king!" Song said before hands were revealed.
Stephen Song: 10?6?
Henadzi Deilik: A?Q?
Song was happy to see both his cards were live and the 10?J?2? put Song in the lead with a pair of tens.
The 4? turn and 2? river kept Song ahead and he scored a much-needed triple up while Deilik collected the side pot.
