Song Soars Up Further

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There appears to be a trio near the top of the leaderboard with very similar stack sizes as Jessica Cai was joined by Joshua Paige Remitio and Stephen Song. Especially the latter added a lot of chips lately and just scored a knockout.

Song had been involved from under the gun and the small blind ended up at risk on the turn against the red-hot wrecking ball Song. He tabled the for two pair but Song's had made a wheel. The river was a blank and Song notched up another elimination.
