Young Takes a Hit

Level 1 : 50/75, 0 ante

One of the first big pots we witnessed was between Justin Young and an unknown player. The two battled it out on a four-handed table, and we picked up the action when the two already had a turn in front of them. The board was {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} | {10-Clubs}, and Young had bet 800. His next door neighbor raised it up to 2,500, and Young made the call. The river was the {3-Spades} and Young checked. His opponent leaned over and took a good look at the board again, before checking behind.

Young shrugged and showed his {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a missed open-ended straight draw and missed flush draw. The nine-high was not good enough to take down the pot, as his neighbor showed down {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and picked up one of the first sizable pots we've seen today.
