A Short Day For Justin Young

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Justin Young is eliminated after only a few minutes in the tournament after getting it all in with a flush and straight draw. His opponent held a better flush draw and a pair.

The turn and river brought no help for Young.

He has already been spotted playing a cash game on the other side of the Amazon Room.

491 And Growing

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Currently the board reflects that 491 players are registered for the event. The number has steadily been growing over the past few minutes. Registration does not close until the end of Level 2, so expect that number to be closer to 600 or more by the time all is said and done.
