Mendoza Strikes First
Level 28
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
James Mendoza limped on the button with Q♥8♠ and Stephen Song checked his option in the big blind holding J♦2♠.
Both players checked on the 8♣10♥7♣ flop and Song checked again on the 2♥ turn. Mendoza bet 800,000 and Song responded with a check-raise to 2,200,000 with his deuce.
Undeterred, Mendoza shoved and Song quickly let his hand go.
