Kai Cocklin

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Benjamin LeBlond opened to 25,000 and Daewoong Song ripped in his stack of around 300,000 from the next seat. When it got back to LeBlond, he snap-called.

Daewoong Song: A♠5♠ All in
Benjamin LeBlond: K♣K♦

Song was looking to get revenge from an earlier hand where LeBlond cracked his aces, but it never happened as the 5♥8♣4♥10♣4♠ runout kept the Cowboys in the lead.

Daewoong Song opened to 24,000 from the cutoff and John Perry called out of the big blind.

The duo saw a flop of 9♠K♥9♥ where Perry initially checked and Song fired 12,000. Perry then check-raised to 40,000. and Song called.

The 7♥ landed on the turn and Perry slowed down with a check, then he called the 28,000-chip bet of Song to see the 8♠ complete the runout.

Both quickly tapped the table and Perry's K♣6♥ was good for the pot with a pair of kings.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Najeem Ajez made it 25,000 to go from the cutoff and Benjamin LeBlond shipped in his stack of around 340,000 from the small blind. Daewoong Song was in the big blind and four-bet shoved his stack of around 800,000, and Ajez quickly folded.

Benjamin LeBlond: K♠Q♠ All in
Daewoong Song: A♣A♥

LeBlond had ran into it and was on the brink of elimination, but did pick up a gutshot on the 3♥10♥A♦ flop, which also have Song top set!
The J♦ on the turn did complete LeBlond's straight, but the job wasn't done as he still needed to avoid the board pairing on the river to double up.

The 6♦ was safe, though, and he raked in the pot to bring his stack up to over 700,000.
