Longsheng Tan
Longsheng Tan

After every other table had gone off to break a big hand was developing on the middle table.

Action was retold after the hand was over. From the cutoff, Stephen Song raised, Longsheng Tan three-bet from the button, Song then four-bet and Tan flat called.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Spades}. Song bet and Tan called.

The turn was the {3-Spades}. Song slowed down and checked. Tan jammed all in, to which Song called after a few moments.

Song had {q-}{q-} while Tan had the best of if with the {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. The river came the {2-Hearts} and just like that Song was gone and Tan continued to suck all the chips in the room into his vortex.
