John Younger

Hand #1 - (Limit) Jon Turner has the button in seat 2, Mueller raises to 60,000, Younger reraises to 90,000 (with 4,000 behind), Berger reraises to 120,000, Mueller folds, and Younger calls all in for 94,000 with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

. Berger shows {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

, and he's a favorite to bust Younger right here. (Mueller claims to have folded {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Spades}

.)

The flop comes {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{4-Spades}

, and Berger retains the lead. The crowd gasps as Mueller would have flopped a monster with top pair and the nut flush draw.

The turn card is the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

, and Mueller would have made his flush. Younger needs to catch a queen on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

, and John Younger is eliminated in 9th place, earning $33,915.
