Defeo Takes From Young, Climbs Higher

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Gregory Defeo opened to 7,500 from early position. Jordan Young called from middle position.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Defeo bet 9,000. Young called. The turn brought the {3-Diamonds}. Defeo checked. Young fired 23,000, commenting, ''A little Michael Jordan on the turn!''

Defeo took a few seconds of reflection. ''You have a pair or no?''

''I don't think I'm allowed to say this, you got a pair?'' responded Young, jokingly.

Defeo didn't respond but proceeded to check-raise to 53,000. Jordan three-bet to 84,000. Defeo made the call. The {9-Diamonds} river completed the board and both players opted to check. Defeo tabled {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to rake in the pot and Young mucked his hand.
