Action was caught on the flop of 5♠9♠3♦, in a hand between Maxx Coleman, in the big blind and Stephen Song, who was under the gun. Both players checked, bringing the 4♥ turn. Action went check-check again, and the river landed the Q♦.
Coleman bet 25,000, leaving just 1,000 behind. Song raised to put him all-in and Coleman flicked in the call.
Coleman tabled Q♥10♠ for a pair of queens, but was outkicked by Song's Q♠K♣, and was eliminated from the tournament.
