Young Clipped But Still Pushing 100k

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The transition from a successful online player to a live one is tough for nearly everyone, but in the case of Jordan Young, he is doing his best to make the best of Black Friday.

Facing a raise to 3,000 from middle position, Young three-bet to 6,700 from the cutoff. Once the action returned to the original raiser, he pushed out a four-bet of 12,700 to force Young's cards into the muck.

Although that small dint sees him slip to 89,000, Young has the skills and the confidence to make a run at a potentially Event #8 final table following same day wins late last year in both the Full Tilt Poker Sunday Brawl and $750,000 Guarantee.
