Hard to Believe

Event 1: $500 + $60 Deep Stack NL (2 Re-entry)

Park is all Business, While Young
Can't Help but Smile

We pick up the action between Julian Park (Staten Island, NY) and Jason Young (Suffern, NY) with the board showing: 10♠ 6 K♣ K 6♠.

Park moves all in for 26k into a pot of 9k, "I know what's going on here," says Young, "this is hard to believe. What a cooler."

After a minute of self loathing on how he might be "the worst player in the room," Young folds and shows the K♠ for a full house, kings full of sixes.

Before the cards hit the muck, Young says to Park, "show me king-ten." After a little "persuasion," Park tables K 10 for the higher full house.

"I'm not the worst player, I'm the best player!" laughs Young, who makes sure everyone knows he's having a good time after making a "great lay down."

Players are back from a 10 break, Level 3 (75/1150) is underway.
