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:
Small blind:
Virab Zakaryan:

It was a great spot for Song to nearly triple up and the flop of looked promising. However, the on the turn gave Zakaryan a set of fours and the on the river ensured Zakaryan of the pot.
