Penalty for Young After Dolan Cracks His Pocket Rockets
We caught the action while the hand was already in progress. From what we could piece together, Jason Young and former November Niner John Dolan had a few raises preflop which resulted in Dolan putting in a third of his chips. When the flop came down , someone bet 5,500, the other shoved, and all the money ended up in the pot. Dolan was the one at risk for his last 15,725.
Dolan:
Young:
Young couldn't believe that not only had Dolan called off a third of his chips preflop with a mediocre hand, but that he somehow managed to flop the nuts. The turn and river changed nothing and Dolan doubled to 43,000 while Young was left with just 16,000. Clearly upset, Young vented to anyone who would listen, uttering the prohibited F-word in the process. To add insult to injury, the dealer called the floor and Young was issued a one-hand penalty. As fate would have it, he was in the small blind so the previous hand actually cost him some more chips.
