Early Profit for Young

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Soon after sitting down for his third bullet, Rory Young defended his big blind against a raise to 3,500 by Tom Rafferty on the button. Young check-raised a bet of 3,500 on the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop to 10,500 and that did the trick to force a fold from Rafferty.

Young also won a showdown hand in a battle of the blinds with Hun Wei Lee in the next hand to build an early profit in the third attempt.
