Doubling Through Young

Jason Young has just doubled up an opponent at his table.

The flop brought {9-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. After a series of raises and reraises, the unknown player ended up all in for 12,050. Young looked him up, tabling {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. It was no good though; his opponent flipped over {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

"Nice hand, nice hand," said Young, but there were still two cards to come. Unfortunately for him, the {3-Hearts} and {J-Diamonds} that filled out the board did nothing to improve Young, and he sent more than half of his stack over to his opponent.

After losing that chunk of change, Young is down to around 11,000.
