Song Bluffs Hulme to Take First Significant Pot of Heads-Up Play
In a limped pot to the 8?7?2? flop, Stephen Song 10?7? checked in the big blind, and Andrew Hulme 6?2? did the same on the button. Hulme made trips on the 2? turn to leapfrog Song's pair of sevens. Song led out for 750,000 and then saw Hulme raise to 2,600,000. Song managed to get away from his hand.
Song 7?2? raised to 1,250,000 from the button and folded out Hulme J?3?.
Another limp pot transpired. Song A?2? had the best hand on the K?8?4? flop, but folded when Hulme 5?2? bet 500,000 from the button.
Song 9?5? opened to 1,250,000 and called after Hulme K?Q? three-bet to 4,000,000. Both players paired up on the Q?8?5? flop. Hulme bet 2,000,000 with top pair and was called. The 7? turn made a flush possible and Hulme check-called for 3,500,000, swelling the pot to 21,100,000. The 4? put a four-card straight on the board, and Hulme checked again. Song moved all in for 20,750,000 and after using a time bank, Hulme folded the best hand.
