Young Wins Four Ways

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

James Calderaro opened to 1,300 under the gun. To his left, both Max Young and Boris Kravets called in succession. John Lytle defended his big blind.

Calderaro threw out a continuation-bet of 3,100 when checked to on the 10♠9♣J♠ flop. Both Young and Kravets called; Lytle folded.

Calderaro then slowed down with a check on the A♥ turn. Young then threw 9,400 into the middle, sending Kravets into the tank. Eventually, he let his cards go, and Calderaro did the same. Lytle busted shortly after, and Justin Vaysman busted at another table.
