Young Can't Bluff Sharp

Justin Young raised to 1,050 preflop from early position and was called by Larry Sharp in middle. The two saw the flop come down {J-Spades} {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} and Young fired a continuation bet of 1,400; Sharp called.

The dealer put the {7-Hearts} on the felt for the turn and Young checked. Sharp hesitated and then checked behind.

The river brought the {K-Spades}. Young then led out with a bet of 2,900. Sharp tanked for some time before eventually opting to make the call, and it proved to be the right one as Young tabled {5-Hearts} {2-Spades} for complete air. Sharp revealed {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for the win.
