Stephen Song got it all in under the gun for 45,000 with 10d6s, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the KcJd of Raul Martinez Gallego on the button.

The board came Js9s9hKhQs — Gallego paired his jack on the flop and his king on the turn, but Song rivered a king-high straight to win the pot and double up in chips.

Stephen Song  –  130,000  (9 bb)
