Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Justin Young
Justin Young

Justin Young moved all in from the hijack for 185,000 with {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and was called by Danny Wong on the button with {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

The flop gave Young a set of sixes to survive, coming {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and he doubled up.

A short while later, Young moved all in again for around 300,000 with {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and again came up against an overpair, with Bryn Kenney holding {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

This time there were no surprises, as the board ran out {q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and he was eliminated in 13th place.

After doubling up Antonio Lievano two hands ago, Talal Shakerchi was left with 265,000 which he swiftly swung forward. Paul Volpe went over the top all in for a little over 600,000.

It got folded to Bryn Kenney, who called to try and score the double knock-out.

Talal Shakerchi: {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Paul Volpe: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
