Song's Silent Strategy
Level 26
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
In the last hand before the break, Paul Runcan initiated the action from under the gun with a raise to 1,200,000. Stephen Song, seated next to him in early position, then three-bet to 4,800,000. Runcan called, and the flop revealed 4♠4♦7♥.
Runcan check-called the 900,000 bet from Song.
On the J♦ turn, Runcan once again check-called Song's bet, this time 1,700,000.
After Runcan checked on the Q♥ river, Song went all in with 4,125,000. It took Runcan three time bank cards before he decided to fold. He tried to engage Song in conversation during this time, but Song remained impassive.
After the hand, Song smiled, and the two players chatted briefly about the hand.
