Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gary Thompson raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Stephen Song called from the big blind. They checked to the 8♥6♥6♣Q♦10♥ river when both checked again.
"Ace nine," Song declared and showed his A♠9♠, Thompson had the equally strong A♣9♣.
Song then limped in from the small blind and Thompson raised to 22,000 for the big stack to call. On the Q♦10♣3♠ flop, Song led for 14,000 and Thompson folded.
