Young Advances, with Whooping and Dealer Embraces

After at one point sinking down to just 50,000 heads up, Jason Young has triumphed over David Orvis after four hours of heads up back and forth.

The final hand went like so. Young limped in and Orvis checked. The flop came down {K-Hearts}

and Orvis bet 6,000. Young called. Orivs bet 6,000 again on the {K-Spades}

turn, to which Young responded by raising him all in. Orvis called for 75,000 more, and they were on their proverbial backs.

Orvis: {J-?}

Young:

River:

-- meaning that Young's nine played, Orvis had been eliminated, and Young advances to the final table.

"WOOOOH!" howled Young when the river hit the felt. He shook hands with the disappointed but gentlemanly Orvis, and turned to Dudley the dealer. "Get up, get up, you know what we do. Hug it out, baby!" He embraced his favorite dealer of the day and tried to tip him $100 before being told that it would go into the dealer's tip pool instead of straight to Dudley, who looked understandably crestfallen to be denied it.

"That's it?" Young turned to the TD, "I get to go home now?"

Three tables left heads up.
