Song Soars Ahead

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bracelet winner Stephen Song found himself in a pot holding {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} against a player who was sporting a very strong hand of {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Spades} .

But on a board of {3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades}, aces were no match for Song's ace-high flush, and Song, therefore, eliminated the player.

"I kind of feel bad I'm having fun at other peoples' expense," Song joked as he mentioned other hands where his unorthodox play was rewarded.

"That's the second time I cracked that guy's aces with hearts!" he laughed.

He is now the chip leader with 1,525,000 chips.
