Young Fades

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Darcy Young was in early position and raised to 200. The hijack called, Craig Varnell in the cutoff called and the big blind defended.

The flop was {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and everyone checked to the turn which was the {10-Hearts}.

It was checked to the player in the hijack who bet 450. Varnell called and the big blind folded. Young then check-raised all in for 4,050. The hijack called and Varnell folded.

Hijack: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} — flush draw and straight draw
Darcy Young: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} — nut straight

The river bricked off with the {7-Spades}, and Young won the pot to move back up over starting stack.
