Justin Young opened to 13,000 under the gun, and Julio Fernandez three-bet to 35,000 a couple seats over. When the action folded back around to Young, he stuck in a four-bet, though it was never counted down. Fernandez instantly moved all in for about 220,000 total, and Young snap-called to put him at risk.

Young: AdAh
Fernandez: KdKc

The Kh5s2d flop sent Fernandez spinning out of his chair in celebration, and he had his back turned to the table as the dealer put the As out on the turn. Young re-took the lead with a set of aces, and the river Td sealed Fernandez’s elimination.

Justin Young – 495,000 (83 bb)
Julio Fernandez – Eliminated
