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 Spade KSpade 8. Steinman woke up with a monster hand — Diamond KClub K — and he needs it to hold to stay alive.

The board comes Spade JDiamond 7Club 6Spade 4Club 2, 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)
