Song Doubles Through Moorman

Livello 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Picking up the action on the flop, Stephen Song in the big blind was involved in a hand with Chris Moorman from early position. With the board reading 6♣8♥2♠ Song checked and then raised to 10,000 after Moorman bet 4,000. Moorman opted to come back over the top for 18,000 and was called.

Song checked on the Q♠ turn before calling off for his remaining stack when Moorman bet enough to force him all in.

Stephen Song: 6♦6♥
Chris Moorman: K♣K♠

Song had flopped a set to leave Moorman's overpair drawing thin. Nothing changed on the J♥ river to hand Song a full double while leaving Moorman with crumbs.

Livello 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Farah Galfond tapped the table good luck to John Riordan directly on her right, as it appeared they were both all in and she was at risk.

Farah Galfond: A♥Q♦
John Riordan: J♠J♥

The flop was no help to Galfond as it spilled out K♦6♦9♣, and by the time the 4♣ peeled she was halfway to putting on her coat, on the verge of collecting her belongings but when the A♠ fell on the river, she was given the opportunity to settle back into her seat.

Blom Bombs; Bonomo Hits The Rail

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a river reading 2♣7♦6♣4♠6♦, Viktor Blom bet just over the size of the pot for 8,000 and after mulling it over a bit, David Peters made the call.

Blom promptly flashed king high and Peters tabled A♣J♥ for an excellent ace-high call on the river.

Just two tables over, Justin Bonomo was seen leaving the tournament area, as he'd been felted. It's unclear if Bonomo has another entry at his disposal, so only time will tell if he hops back in the field.
