After a flop of Diamond 8Spade 5Diamond 4, Stephen Song bets 10,000 from under the gun, and Eric Hershler moves all in from middle position for 26,000. David Williams quickly folds from the hijack.

Song quickly calls with Spade 7Club 7 for a pair with a gutshot straight draw, and Hershler turns over Club KClub 8 for a pair of eights. Hershler needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the Heart Q, the river card is the Spade K, and Hershler wins the pot with two pair, kings and eights, to double up in chips.

Eric Hershler  –  88,000  (29 bb)
Stephen Song  –  185,000  (62 bb)
