Runcan Wins Flip to Take a Chunk of Song
Level 26
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Paul Runcan opened 4,500,000 in the cutoff before Stephen Song announced all-in on the button. The blinds quickly folded, and Runcan went into the tank, using a time bank.
"There's no pay jump right now," joked Song.
After some banter, Runcan made the call for his 10,100,000 total.
Paul Runcan: 9♣9♠ 
Stephen Song: A♠Q♥
It was the classic flip, and the J♦5♦4♠ flop was looking promising for Runcan. The 10♦ turn, and 9♥ river improved him to a set of nines as he doubled through Song.
