"Jason Young is the King of Flopping Sets"

Those were the words of a spectator just after this hand.

Young and Christopher Giddings check-checked through a turned board showing {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}. The river {A-Clubs} drew a bet of 80,000 from Young, Giddings promptly raised to 200,000 straight, and Young made the smooth call.

Giddings: {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Young: {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}

That's a winning set of sixes for Young, and he's worked his stack up to about 750,000 here in the early going. Giddings has slipped to 537,000.
