Strzemp Doubles Up, Nearly Has Heart Attack

All in before the flop, John Strzemp was looking good for the double-up against Jason Young.

Young: {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Strzemp: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

Flop: {5-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Clubs} -- no change

Turn: {10-Diamonds} -- a collective gasp from the crowd, "Oh f**k," from Strzemp

River: {K-Clubs} -- muttered curses turn to whoops of joy as Strzemp enjoys a brief surge of adrenaline and a full double-up to 2.9 million.

Jason Young is reduced to 2.7 million, meaning that our current chip leader is Mike Schwartz on 4.4 million.
