Young Busts Three Players!

Well that was a big hand. We just caught a monster hand that has pushed Ryan Young towards the top of the chip counts. Action started with Kathy Liebert who raised to 4,000 under the gun. Ryan Young was next to act, and he called. The next player to act called, as well as the cutoff, and action folded around to the small blind. He shoved all in over the top for 50,000 exactly. The big blind asked for a count, tanked, then shoved all in himself for 44,000 after about a minute of thinking.

Liebert quickly folded, and action was back on Young, who asked for counts on both stacks. Young tanked for over two minutes, before announcing all in himself! The next player to act instantly called for a shorter stack, and the final caller folded. You still with us?

Young: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Player 1: {9-}{9-}
Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Big Blind: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

After all the preflop action, the dealer finally fanned out a flop of {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, giving the small blind the lead. Young was now well behind, but he soared back into the lead with the {j-Clubs} on the turn. The last player to fold preflop claimed to have folded {a-}{j-}, meaning Young hit a one outer on the turn. The meaningless river came the {6-Clubs}, and Young collected the pot as well as three bounties.
