Young Eliminates Ligeri

Level 11 : 0/0, 10,000 ante
Justin Ligeri
Justin Ligeri

Justin Young moved in from the cutoff and Justin Ligeri called on the button.

Ligeri: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Young: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The dealer spread a flop of {6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

"That's not good," Ligeri said.

The {8-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river ended the hand and Ligeri's stack was cut down until it was clear his 600,000 or so was covered by Young.

Koon: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Koon collected the double from Depa.
