Aces Are a Pertea Hand, But Not Against Song

Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Stephen Song completed in the small blind and Marius-Catalin Pertea raised to 1,500,000 in the big blind. Song called.
Song checked on the flop of J?7?5? and Pertea continued for 3,000,000. Song used a time bank before raising all in for 12,750,000 to bring a quick call from Pertea.
Stephen Song: A?9?
Marius-Catalin Pertea: A?A?
Song had outs to the nut flush to crack aces and that's exactly what happened as the board finished out 7?8? to bring Song another unlikely double.
