Young's Aces Get Cracked

Justin Young raised it up to 700 in the hijack, and both of the blinds came along. The flop came out {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and it was checked to Young, who fired out 1,300. The small blind quickly folded, and the big blind called just as quickly. The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}, and the big blind checked again to Young, who bet out 2,500. Again, the big blind instantly called, and the river brought the {j-Clubs}. Things got interesting here.

The big blind checked again, and Young reached for chips. The big blind then jokingly said "Don't bet I checked you should check too." A puzzled Young looked at him and confessed, "well now I'm really confused." Young grabbed a 5,000 chip, and his opponent instantly grabbed one as well, as if to say he would once again snap. Young declared 4,000, and his opponent backed it up, instantly calling. Young showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, but his opponent said, "no good" showing {9-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a rivered straight. The hand cut Young down to alittle over his starting stack.
