Theuma Yearning For Song's Cards
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 6♠K♠9♥, Corel Theuma bet 15,000 from the big blind and Stephen Song and a player in the hijack called.
All three players checked the 7♠ turn before Theuma led out for 35,000 on the 9♠ river. Song quickly called while the hijack got out of the way, and Song turned over A♦A♠.
"I wonder what it feels like to have aces," Theuma said as he mucked. "Nice hand, but f**k you," he added as he and Song shared a laugh while Song added to his already big stack.

Shak Takes a Seat, Immediately Snaps the River For Big Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dan Shak had only taken his seat in the tournament after the break before getting involved in a big pot. With the board showing Q♦J♠K♦3♥, Shak checked his big blind and a player in the hijack bet 27,000.
Shak quickly tossed in the chips to call as the Q♥ fell on the river. Shak checked again and his opponent fired out 75,000. Shak again snap-called as the hijack dejectedly turned over 8♦7♦ for a missed flush draw. Shak showed A♥K♠ for two pair, kings and queens, to take the pot.

Freddy Deeb raised to 4,000 from the cutoff before Chance Kornuth three-bet to 20,000 in the small blind. Deeb stuck around with a call as they went heads-up to a 2♠7♦10♠ flop.
Kornuth continued for 22,000 and Deeb quickly tossed in a green 25,000 chip to signify a call. The turn came the A♦ and Kornuth this time slid his entire stack forward, a bet of around 80,000. Deeb snap-folded.
