Tuliupa Sends Song to the Rail
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Artem Tuliupa opened to 5,000 from early position before Stephen Song went all-in for his remaining 36,000 from the small blind. Tuliupa made the call to put Song at risk.
Stephen Song: K♠K♥
Artem Tuliupa: A♦Q♣
Song enjoyed a healthy lead as they went to a runout, and the flop appeared to end all doubt of his prospects of a double-up when it came K♣2♥9♣ to give Song top set.
The 9♣ turn complicated matters as it gave Tuliupa a flush draw with one card to go.
Song was disappointed by the river as it came the 4♣ to give Tuliupa a flush and bust Song from the tournament.
