Kelton Doubles Through Young

The action folded around to Jordan Young who raised to 65,000 from middle position; all the others got out of the way before Casey Kelton reraised all-in for 340,000 from the small blind. Andrea Vezzani took his time considering his option from the big blind, but no sooner that Vezzani's hand had touched the muck Young snap-called.

Kelton: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Young: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The flop was a very sweaty {9-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}, but the turn of the {6-Clubs} kept Kelton ahead, and it stayed that way after the repeat {10-Hearts} appeared on the river, giving Kelton two pair and the much-needed double-up.
