Maxwell Young raised under the gun to 600,000, Christie Yau moved all in from UTG+1 for about 2,000,000, and Young called with AhAd.

Yau turned over KcJc, and she needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 9c6h5c2hJh, and Yau flopped a club flush draw and paired her jack on the river, but the aces held up for Young to win the pot. Yau was eliminated in ninth place.
