After seeing the flop fall 
New Jersey-based grinder Orson Young led out for 11,000, only to see his opponent raise it up to 23,000.
Young thought things through for about thirty seconds, before announcing himself all in for 48,000 effective. His opponent winced at the sight of the bright red "All-In" button hitting the felt, and he quickly laid down to send a sizable pot over to Young.
