Swan Song
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Quan Zhou opened to 1,800 from the hijack and action folded to Jie Song in the big blind, who shoved for his last 9,500. Zhou verified the amount and stuck in a call to put Song at risk.
Jie Song: A♣J♦
Quan Zhou: 8♥8♣
The Q♦J♥8♠ flop improved Zhou to a set, which leaft Song drawing to a runner-runner straight or full house.
The 5♣ turn ensured Song's elimination and an irrelevant 6♣ filled out the board to send Song's remaining chips Zhou's way.
Zhou, who is a regular in the high roller scene with over $12 million in live-tournament earnings, is up to 44,300.
