Rigby Doubles Through Song; Hover First to Drop

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

There was heads-up action between Stephen Song from the cutoff and Nicholas Rigby from the big blind with a {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} board showing.

With over 700,000 already in the middle, Rigby jammed his 1,198,000 stack into the middle and Song called after some careful consideration.

Nicholas Rigby: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Stephen Song: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Rigby held top two-pair but had a sweat as Song held an open-ended straight draw.

Luckily for Rigby, the {k-Spades} completed the board on the river, improving him to a full house and kept his Main Event hopes alive.

Meanwhile, Robert Hover has become one of the first Day 5 eliminations.
