Hand #139

[user10554]

Hand #139 - Jason Song has the button in seat 5, he raises to 180,000, and Shak reraises from the big blind to 380,000. Her action was a little unclear, she apparently said something about raising to 380,000 before saying she moved all in. But the first verbal action is binding, so it's 200,000 more for Jason Song to call from the button.

Song thinks for more than a minute before he calls. The flop comes {K-Hearts}
