How Does He Keep Doing That?

This final table is going nowhere. Fast. Neither is Jordan Young, because he's managed to double up yet again, this time through Tristan Wade.

The action folded around to Wade who raised to 120,000 from the hijack before Young snap-shoved from the button for 665,000 with {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Wade snap-called, tabling {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and from the look on Young's face, he wasn't liking his chances?

Why should he have worried? With his case of rungooditis now at a pandemic level, he was able to pair up (and double up) after the dealer spread the board of {9-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}.
