Young Busts Out the Boomstick For a "Groovy" Double
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Max Young raised to 33,000 from under the gun, and was called by Jeremy Pekarek in the small blind, and Loren Klein in the big blind.
"Startin' to hit the groove," Pekarek told the table before the 
flop hit.
"Groove, gotta test it!" Pekarek said, betting 35,000.
"That's groovy!" Klein said with a smirk before folding. Young raised to 90,000, and Pekarek tanked for a minute before three-betting enough to commit Young's 353,000 stack. Young snap-called.
Max Young: 
Jeremy Pekarek: 
Pekarek needed to hit an ace or queen to knock out Young, but the 
turn and 
river sent the double to Young.
