Song Scoops Sizeable Pot
Tian Liu opened to 65,000 from middle position, and only Linyang Song on the button paid to see a flop, with both blinds getting out of the way.
The flop came down 4♠9♥6♥ and Liu opted against a continuation-bet as he checked it over to Song. He wouldn't see a free turn, however, as Song placed 50,000 into the middle, an amount which was called by Liu.
The turn brought in the K♣ and this time it was Liu who took initiative, and placed a single blue 100,000 chip into the middle. Song continued to show aggression, though, and bumped it up to 280,000. For a second street running, Liu placed in a call.
He then checked the 6♦ river over to Song, who bet out for a third street, this time for 485,000. Liu didn't snap call, nor did he fold, as he took his time to think over his options. After rechecking his cards, Liu flicked in a chip then mucked his cards as Song showed 4♦4♣ for a flopped set which improved to a rivered boat.
