Young Eliminated on Bubble

Level 15 : 0/0, 25,000 ante

Andrew Robl moved all in and Justin Young called from the cutoff.

Robl: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Young: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Young had the goods but short-deck odds didn't make him much of a favorite. The {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{a-Clubs} improved both players, but Young still needed the board to pair as he was up against a straight. The {8-Spades} didn't do it and neither did the {9-Spades}.

"That's all right," Young said, cheerfully enough, shipping his 950,000 or so into the middle. "It was still fun."
