From the cutoff, Thomas Kurtz moved all in for roughly 120,000. Action folded around to the big blind where Stephen Song called.

Stephen Song: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Thomas Kurtz: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The flop came down {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} putting Kurtz in a big hole, but he picked up a few outs on the {J-Diamonds} turn. The river was the {9-Hearts} and that completed Kurtz's straight, earning him a double-up on the first hand of play and knocking Song down to about 500,000 chips.
