Jia Cracks the Aces of Song
Level 29
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Stephen Song raised to 50,000 on the button with A♠A♣ and William Jia called from the big blind with K♠2♠. The flop came K♦8♦7♠ to give Jia top pair but Song was still in the lead with his pocket aces.
Jia checked to Song who continued with a bet of 80,000 and Jia called to see the K♥ pair the board on the turn. Jia took over the lead and led out with a small bet of 55,000. Song just called and the J♦ landed on the river.
Jia checked this time and Song reached for a bet of 135,000 on the river. Jia check-raised to 400,000 and Song eventually looked him up. Jia turned over the goods and Song was forced to concede the pot.
