Young and Russo; Same but Different
Level 38
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Michael Young went all in from early position and was called by Louis Russo, who had about the same sized stack.
Michael Young: A?K?
Louis Russo: A?K?
The flop was innocuous as it fanned out Q?K?4?, but when the 5? rolled off it gave Russo a chance to scoop, as he had just picked up the nut flush draw. The river was a sigh of relief for Young as the 10? came off the top of the deck.
Just two hands later Young went all in through his own initiative but just picked up the blinds, showing A?Q?.
