Tristan Wade Doubles Through Jordan Young

Wade showed A A for a huge lead against Young’s A K.

Jordan Young Bounces Back
Jordan Young started Level 28 with just one big blind and managed to triple up early with an unlikely win with K – 7 against A – K and pocket aces, flopping two pair to climb up to nearly 300,000 at the beginning of the level.
Young then on went on to get it in bad and double up again, this time with K – 4 offsuit against chip leader Allan Le’s A – 10. Wade flopped a king and jumped up to over 700,000 that hand.
Shortly after he doubled back through Tristan Wade, this time getting it in good with pocket nines against a pair of threes. This hand leveled the two stacks at about 1.5 million each. Young’s stack continued to move in the right direction this level for a most impressive comeback.
