Stephen Song raised it up to 11,000 in the hijack and picked up three callers along the way. The flop came 9♥9♦6♦ and Chris Moorman led out with a bet of 15,000 from the big blind. Song just called and Yuan Yu also came along from the small blind.

The turn brought the 2♦ and the action checked to Song who bet 40,000. Yu check-raised to 102,000 and Moorman folded after some deliberation. Song three-bet jammed all in and Yu quickly called off the additional 100,000 chips in front of him.

Yuan Yu: K♦5♦ All in
Stephen Song: 6♥6♣

Song flopped a full house and Yu was left drawing dead to the A♣ on the river. Moorman mentioned that he also turned a flush, saying Song was getting paid no matter what.
