"The Maniac" Doesn't Get There
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Stephen Song raised to 11,000 on the button and Benjamin McKevitt three-bet to 37,000 in the small blind. Song called and they saw a flop of Q♠7♦8♣.
McKevitt then continued for 15,000, and Song raised to 40,000. McKevitt came back with an all-in shove for 120,000. "Alright," Song said as he sighed and put in the chips.
Benjamin McKevitt: K♠K♥ 
Stephen Song: K♦Q♣
Song had flopped top pair, but he needed to improve against McKevitt's kings. The board ran out J♣9♣ and McKevitt doubled up.
"Oh, wow. I thought the maniac got there," tablemate Brandon Zuidema said.
