Justin Young opened to 22,000 under the gun, and Jason Wheeler three-bet to 58,000 a couple seats over. Young four-bet to 137,000, and Wheeler took pause. He asked how much Young was playing (about 900,000), then moved all in for about 500,000 total. Young called quickly, putting Wheeler at risk.

Young: QcQd
Wheeler: 9c9d

The board ran out 7c5c2s3c4c, and Young’s queen-high flush earned him a big knockout pot in the penultimate hand of the night.
