Jason Young (Suffern, NY) and Tony Ruberto (Miami, FL) have been sitting next to each other for most of the day, but managed to stay out of each other's way...until moments ago.  The two got it all-in pre, with Young covering Tony, who was at risk for his tournament.  Ruberto was ahead with A♠ K♣ against Young's A♣ Q♠, with the 6 4♠ 10♣ 86♥ runout securing him the double to over 130,000.

The very next hand, Young would open from UTG, and after getting one call, the player in the big blinds would shove for just over ten big blinds.  Jason then re-shoved, and was able to get the limper to fold his hand.  This time it would be Jason with the A K, up against the Q 10 of his opponent.  Both players would flop pairs, and while the turn would bring an open-ended straight draw for Young's opponent, a blank on the river helped him recover some of the chips lost to Ruberto.

Tony Ruberto - 134,000
Jason Young - 127,000
