Player Profiles: Seat 3: Stephen Song

Stephen Song
Stephen Song

One of the most accomplished American players on the circuit, Stephen Song is making one of his regular overseas trips to Barcelona and is enjoying his deepest Main Event run to date.

Song already has $6.5 million in documented live tournament earnings, including one WSOP bracelet and a victory in a WPT Prime event. He's the most successful tournament player from his home state of Connecticut, a fact that did not go unnoticed by reporters at the Stamford Advocate newspaper, which profiled Song in 2023.

��Life's pretty good,�� Song told the newspaper, describing how he learned poker from watching TV and playing with his dad. The Song family first tuned into the WSOP in 2006, when former PokerStars Team Pro Joe Hachem took down the Main Event. Song went on to play with friends at high school.
Song turned pro during his first semester at college, and has gradually proved to his initially sceptical parents that he made the right decision. They've been present on the rail for his biggest successes to date �� but the EPT Barcelona final could outstrip anything he's managed before. He won $712K for the WPT Prime victory, which is less than half the first prize for the tournament he's now playing.

Song was named GPI Player of the Year for 2022, the year of that WPT win. But his best result outside of North America came here in Barcelona in 2019, when he took down a �2K side event for �185K.
