Young Gets Hero Called

The action folded to a player in the small blind who raised to 1,400. Jordan Young three-bet to 3,700, and his opponent called. The flop came down {4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, and Young's opponent check-called 6,000.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and Young's opponent check-called another bet - this one was worth 7,700. The river was the {2-Spades}, and Young's opponent checked a third time. Young moved all in for effectively 15,000, and his opponent tanked before saying, "Alright, I'm all in.

Young showed king-high, and his opponent opened up {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for just a pair of fours. They were good, but the dealer accidentally mucked his hand and pushed the pot to Young. The entire table, including Young, protested, the hand was re-opened, and the pot was pushed to the correct player.
