Michael Song limped in on the button and Ben Yu raised it up to 25,000. Song called and they saw a flop of {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Yu checked and Song stuck in a bet of 25,000 which Yu called.

The turn brought the {2-Clubs} and Yu checked again. Song slid out a bet of 129,000, leaving just 800 chips behind. Yu announced all in and Song quickly called. Yu tabled {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} which was leading Song's {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The river was the {j-Hearts} and Yu advanced to the next round.

At the same time, Richard Tuhrim and Ryan Hall got in a preflop raising war. Hall eventually found himself at risk for around 205,000 but was in bad shape.

Tuhrim flipped over {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} while Hall could only muster {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Tuhrim emerged victorious. He will line up against Yu when the Round of 16 begins tomorrow.
