With the board showing 10s9s3c4h on the turn with nearly 150K already in the pot, chipleader Dan Sepiol bets 80,000 from the big blind, and Orson Young thinks for a while before he calls from the cutoff.

The river card was the 6c, and Sepiol moved all in for about 415,000.

Young tanked for a long time before he called all in for about 243,000 with AhAc, but Sepiol turned over 9d9c to win the pot with a flopped set of nines, eliminating Young in 20th place.
