Wu Makes the Right Call

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a three-bet pot, Huihan Wu was heads-up with the big blind. The flop came {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Wu called a bet from his opponent, putting around 90,000 chips in the middle.

The turn brought the {3-Spades} and the big blind shoved all in for 83,500. Wu went into the tank for over a minute before finally making the call. The big blind showed {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} while Wu held the only pair with {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Wu held on to eliminate his opponent.

Song Quickly Busts

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Stephen Song was one of the late entries during the dinner break and didn't take long for him to get his chips in the middle. The action folded to Virab Zakaryan on the button who announced all in. The small blind stuck in the last of his 22,000 chips and Song did the same with his 32,5000 chips in the big blind.

Stephen Song: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Small blind: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Virab Zakaryan: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

It was a great spot for Song to nearly triple up and the flop of {k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} looked promising. However, the {4-Diamonds} on the turn gave Zakaryan a set of fours and the {10-Spades} on the river ensured Zakaryan of the pot.
