Justin Young raised to 15,000 in the cutoff and Keith Tilston three-bet to 45,000 out of the small blind. Rainer Kempe asked for a count in the big blind but elected to fold. With the action back on Young, he shoved all in for 225,500. It was met by a quick call from Tilston and the cards were tabled.

Justin Young: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Keith Tilston: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The flop and turn looked good for Tilston as the board read {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} with one card to come. Young was halfway out of his seat when the {k-Hearts} landed on the river. Young scored a big double up to keep his tournament hopes alive.
