Song Dusted as Slow Play Goes Wrong
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alan Ferraro opened 50,000 in middle position and Stephen Song flatted the small blind before Wouter Beltz came along in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♣9♦8♠ and all three players checked to the 9♠ turn. Song checked and Beltz bet 105.000. Ferraro called before Song put in the check-raise all-in for 300,000. Beltz moved all-in as well forcing Ferraro out of the pot and both hands were tossed on their backs.
"I have a boat," said Beltz as he whipped his cards over.
Stephen Song: A♥A♣
Wouter Beltz: 8♥8♣
Song was unable to catch one of the remaining aces as the 3♣ rolled off on the river, eliminating him from the tournament.
