Justin Young started things off with a raise to 10,500 and Emad Alabsi raised it 50,000 more. It was folded back to Young, and knowing Alabsi was committed, he moved all in and was quickly called by Alabsi.
Young had the goods with

. Alabsi would get some hope when the board came 
but the 
on the river would crush that dream.
"Plays itself," said Young after the hand.
