"August $100,000" (Day 2): Pinpointing The Hand That Propelled The Run

"August $100,000 GTD"
$150 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 25 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 1,126
Players Remaining: 37


Jason Young (Suffern, NY)

Players were informed just a few moments ago, that the next break (which is in just over an hour), will be their dinner break.  The dinner break will last for (45) minutes (from 6:15-7:15pm), and will be the only extended break of the day.

Jason Young (Suffern, NY) came into Day 2 with a stack that was in the top third of those returning, but began the day trending in the wrong direction.  A few levels into the money, Young was all-in for just over 125,000, and at risk for his tournament.  Jason was flipping with A K against 10♠ 10♣, and was fortunate to flop an ace, which ended up being good enough to win the hand (he made two pair on the turn for good measure).  From that point on, it's been a steady rise for the WSOP bracelet winner, now sitting with the largest stack in the field.

Jason Young - 1,500,000
