A Bad Beat For Ryan Young

Ryan Young
Ryan Young
An early-position player put in a raise to 300. The button moved all in for 1,200 and Ryan Young called from the big blind. The initial raiser passed and the players showed:

Young: {J-?} {J-?}
Opponent: {6-?} {5-?}

Young was in great shape and looked to pad his stack and send a player home. Unfortunately for him, the {7-?} {8-?} {9-?} flop didn't cooperate. He went from first to worst in a hurry and needed a ten or running cards to make a full house or a split pot. Neither came and the button doubled through Young, leaving him with 4,200.
