Justin Young opened the pot for 17,000 from under the gun and Ray Qartomy, one to his left, re-raised to 45,000. It was folded to Jason Koon who asked Young how much he started the hand with. After getting an answer from Young, Koon announced a raise to 108,000.

The remaining players got out of the way and a cool, calm, and collected Young announced that he was all in. Qartomy didn't fold immediately. He thought about it for over a minute before tossing his cards away.

"I have three outs," Koon said, thinking that Young had Kings. "I have to call though."

Young didn't have Kings. He had better. {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

"I guess I could hit a straight," said Koon. "I haven't done that in a while."

There was no straight possibilities on the {J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} flop but the {K-Clubs} on the turn caused Young to turn his head. Fortunately for him the river was not a Ten... it was the {5-Hearts}... and Young moves up to just shy of half a million in chips while Koon and Qartomy both finish the hand near the 400,000 chip mark.
