In Hand #4 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, Ian Steinman is in the big blind with just 2,000 behind.

Stephen Song raises UTG+1 to 250,000, and action folds to Steinman, who uses a Time Chip to tank for nearly a minute as he looks around the room to see if anyone else is all in.

Steinman calls all in for 12,000, and Song shows . Steinman woke up with a monster hand — — and he needs it to hold to stay alive.

The board comes , and Song picks up two draws on the turn with a gutshot straight draw and a spade flush draw, but improves no further. But the pocket kings hold up for Steinman to win the pot and double up in chips.

Ian Steinman  –  39,000  (4 bb)
Stephen Song  –  750,000  (75 bb)
