Carson Doubles Through Young

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Russell Carson opened with a raise to 2,200 from the hijack seat and it folded back to Jordan Young in the big blind. Young paused, then announced he was reraising all in, and Carson called quickly, committing his entire stack of 18,400.

Young showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} while Carson was hoping his {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} would hold. The five community cards came {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and Carson has bumped up to 39,400. Young meanwhile slips to 9,000.
