Young Counterfeited by Running Fours

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Jordan "Jymaster11" Young continued his roller coaster ride on Day 2, after getting into an all-in confrontation with his {6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. The flop read {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} and the internet legend found his two-pair was ahead of his opponent's {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

The {4-Spades} on the turn was an interesting card for Young, keeping him in the lead while giving his opponent a backdoor flush draw. Young was poised to continue an incredible rush, in which he has repeatedly busted smaller stacks with inferior holdings, if he could dodge a four, an ace, a king or a spade on the next card.

River: {4-Hearts}

With that, Young's two-pair had been counterfeited and his short-stacked opponent collected a much needed double. The man known online as "Jymaster11" is still in healthy shape with a stack of about 220,000 chips.
