Mike Chiappetta raised from the button to 45,000, Maxwell Young moved all in from the small blind for about 300,000, and Chiappetta quickly called with JhJc.

Young turned over As8c, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Kd10s5hKh7s, and the pocket jacks held up for Chiappetta to win the pot and eliminate Young in ninth place.
