Losing is Getting Old For Young

From early position, Jason Young moved all in for his last 9,100. Action came all the way around to the big blind, and the player there made the call. Young turned over {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}, and his foe turned over {K-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}.

The first four community cards ran out clean for Young, but an untimely {4-Spades} on the river gave the pot to the big blind and eliminated the bracelet winner from the field. Young slammed his fist down on the table with a big, "Jesus Christ!" before wishing his table luck and heading off into the sea of spectators. When he was out of earshot, table mate Jean-Robert Bellande said to nobody in particular, "Poker is a cruel game boys... cruel game."
