Reinforce the Legs on Table 66!

Orange 66 is threatening to collapse under all the chips that have accumulated on that table. Bobby Firestone has 278,000; Bryce Yockey has 220,000; and a third player *had* 250,000.

We say *had* because he just doubled up Justin Young. It was a four-way raised pot with a flop that came down {7-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}. Action checked to Young, who bet 16,5000, about a third of his stack. Young's opponent asked how much Young was playing behind, then raised to 50,000.

"Ahhhh, I thought I had a plan for this hand," lamented Young once everyone else had folded. He hemmed and hawed a minute more before moving all in with {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. He was called by {k-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}, a hand that was drawing once the {6-Clubs} hit the turn. Young needed to avoid a river club to win the pot and did so when the {7-Spades} fell. He doubled up to about 120,000.
