Stephen Song Eliminated in 14th Place ($21,200)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Stephen Song
Stephen Song

Schuyler Thornton gathered a double after his wounding loss to Steven Rivero to regain his stack some. He was still short-stacked however and was covered by Stephen Song in a preflop all in.

Schuyler Thornton: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Stephen Song: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came the {3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. The turn was the {4-Spades} as Thornton started to stand up from the table but the seven from heaven the {7-Clubs} came down to keep Thornton alive and leave Song with just 60,000.

Song took it in stride when prodded about the bad beat.

"600 people would kill to be in this spot right now" Song said with a smile, referring to everyone else eliminated in the tournament before now.

He was all in for his tiny stack shortly after with {k-}{j-} vs the {10-}{10-} of Doug Polk. The board would not run out in Song's favor and he was eliminated

Doug Polk opened up to 110,000 from the cutoff and Nir Cohen elected to three-bet, making it 350,000 in the small blind. Polk called and the dealer fanned out {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} on the flop.

Cohen hit the check and Polk then bet 235,000. The {3-Clubs} hit the board after Cohen called the flop bet, he then checked again on the turn.

Polk elegantly slapped in a stack as he announced all in and Cohen asked for a count. Polk had 1,445,000 and after a few minutes that number increased when Cohen tank-folded.
