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: KKAll in
Artem Tuliupa: AQ

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 K29 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.
