Song Busts Yuan in Big Pot

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Stephen Song
Stephen Song

Stephen Song raised to 80,000 on the button and Ye Yuan three-bet to 280,000 in the small blind, which Song then four-bet to 600,000 to earn a call. On the {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Yuan pushed for 1,375,000 and Song was in the tank with the slightly superior stack size.

After some consideration, Song made the call and there were some gasps by other players at the table when the cards were revealed.

Ye Yuan: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Stephen Song: {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The {10-Clubs} turn immediately locked up the hand for Song and the {6-Diamonds} river was no longer significant.

Jones Makes Hero Call for Tournament Life on Scary Board

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ryan Jones
Ryan Jones

From the big blind, Ryan Jones three-bet over a hijack raise from Landen Lucas who called.

The flop came the {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Jones led for 125,000 and Lucas called.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} to put four to a straight flush on the board. Both players checked to the river which came the {10-Hearts}.

Jones bet 500,000 into a pot that was about 850,000. Lucas waited a few seconds and raised all in to put Jones to the ultimate test for his tournament life.

Jones went into the tank and thought it out, rubbing his head and looking pained by the huge decision. Eventually he called.

Lucas revealed the {9-Spades}{7-Spades} for nothing. Jones immediately said "Yes!" and tabled the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the wheel, good enough for the pot. Several players at the table said "Wow!" unable to believe the call from Jones and complimented him on it as he raked in the humongous pot.

Lucas Busts Two in a Row

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The cards were already tabled when Shmuel Hada was at risk preflop with the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Landen Lucas had the suited overcards with the {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. On a board of {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, Lucas got there on the river.

Soon after, he raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Adam Reynolds pushed for 475,000 in a middle position. The action folded back to Lucas and he instantly called.

Adam Reynolds: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Landen Lucas: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The superior pair remained ahead throughout a board of {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and that spelled the end for Reynolds as well.
