| Jason Young (New York, NY) |
WSOP bracelet winner Jason Young (New York, NY) is now one of the top five stacks in the field, after his pocket aces held in a massive three-way all-in. After an open to 16,000, and a three-bet to 48,000, Young looked down at A♠ A
♥ on the button. Jason four-bet to 105,000, with the original opener shoving for 180,000. The player to have three-bet just called the 180,000, but the amount of the player's all-in allowed for Young to five-bet shove for just over 288,000. The extra 108,000 would be called, and the three hands would be tabled:
Young: A♠ A♥
Player X: A♦ K♣
Player Y: J♠ J♣
Runout: 5♥ 7♥ 7♣ 3♦ 7♦
Young's aces were never at risk on that board, and he'd almost triple up to just under 750,000. Jason came into the day with 150,000, and is now primed to make a deep run towards his first five-figure tournament score since 2011.
