Level 20: 10,000-20,000, 3,000 ante
Roger Teska raises to 50,000 from under the gun and Justin Young moves all-in for 495,000 total from the big blind. Teska thinks a minute before calling with 99 and Young shows AQ.
The flop comes down Q87 to give Young the best hand. Teska fails to improve with the A on the turn and the 3 on the river and Young takes the pot.
"Scotch level is always the best level," Young tells the table as he takes a sip of his drink. All tournament long, Young has spent the last ninety-minute level sipping on scotch. The beverages seem to work well for Young, as he has chipped up quite a bit during the final level the past couple of days.
Justin Young - 1,000,000 (50 BBs)
Roger Teska - 720,000 (36 BBs)
Level 18: 6,000-12,000, 2,000 ante
Hand-for-hand play on the money bubble didn't last particularly long, and the final hand was so subtle and quiet that most people in the room didn't even realize someone had busted.
Hafiz Khan is all in preflop with A-A, and he's a big favorite to double up against Justin Young's J-J. But a jack on the turn reverses their fortunes, as Young wins the pot to eliminate Khan in 28th place.
Nobody at the table reacts much to the bad beat, nor do they react to the fact that they've made the money. In the WPT World Championship, most of these top players aren't interested in a min-cash.
Justin Young - 935,000 (77 BBs)
Hafiz Khan - Out in 28th Place ($0)
Level 17: 5,000-10,000, 1,000 ante
Thomas Drivas was just eliminated in 40th place after his A-K failed to improve against Justin Young's pocket jacks.
Justin Young - 1,100,000
Thomas Drivas - Eliminated
