Joseph Grech Eliminated By Ryan Young

Ryan Young raised enough preflop to put Joseph Grech all in. Grech made the call showing {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. Young held {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. Grech hit an ace on a flop of {8-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {A-Clubs}. Only a king, running clubs, or running straight cards would help Young. Unfortuantely for Grech, a {J-Clubs} hit the turn and a {7-Clubs} hit the river to give Young a flush and eliminate Grech.
