The action was picked up when all the chips were in the middle preflop from a player in early position and David Young on the button, who was all in for his last roughly 30,000.
David Young: K♠10♠
Opponent: A♠Q♠
"Well, I'm alive," said Young before the board ran out 9♠6♣4♣10♣8♣, giving Young a turned pair of tens to take the pot and score a full double up.

The players have left the tournament area for another 20-minute break and color up period. The action will resume shortly.
After a limp in middle position the cut-off raised, only to be three-bet by Lucas Martin in the small blind.
Ryan Depaulo in the big, got out of the way, leaving the cut-off to push all in. Martin, who covered, called quickly.
Cut-off: A♥A♦
Lucas Martin: Q♠Q♣
The flop fell 4♠6♣8♠, and Martin was drawing thin. But the Q♥ turn, reversed the situation and now it was his opponent who needed some luck. It didn't come and Martin gained some valuable chips.
The action folded around to Mike Smith in the cutoff who limped in and both the small blind and Brandon Budd in the big blind came along.
The flop came 9♦9♣4♦ and the small blind checked to Budd who led out for 3,000, which only Smith called. On the 5♠ turn both players checked their options to the 10♥ river.
Budd took a few seconds before tossing out a bet of 4,000 and Smith double-checked his cards before eventually sending them to the muck.

Blinds: 1,000/2,500
Ante: 2,500
An under-the-gun player opened to 4,000 and Mandy Island moved all in next to act for 16,900. The rest of the table folded and the cards were on their backs.
Mandy Island: K♥Q♣
Opponent: A♥10♠
Island was slightly behind preflop, but when the dealer fanned out K♦9♥4♥9♠4♠, it was the flopped king that turned the tables to score a full double up for Island.
A player in early position opened the action to 4,500 and it folded to Conrad Simpson in middle position who three-bet to 13,000. The rest of the table got out of the way and the initial raiser made the call.
The flop came 8♦8♣2♣ and the player in early position check-called a bet of 7,000 from Simpson. On the 7♠ turn both players elected on a check to the K♠ river.
The early position player checked a third time and Simpson moved all in, covering his opponents just over 40,000 stack, who went deep in the tank. After close to a minute, the early position player reluctantly let his cards go and the pot was shipped to Simpson without showdown.
