Big Stax 500 (Day 3): 5th Place - Youngken ($12,141)

Level 28 - Blinds 50,000/100,000/10,000
Players Remaining: 4

Russell Youngken (Bucks County, PA)
5th Place - $12,141

Do we have to even tell you?  It's Amit Sharma once more sending a player home, and this time it's Russell Youngken.  Sharma opened from the button to 200,000 and Russell shoved from the small blind.  Azzaro folded behind and after asking for a count (2,200,000), Amit made the call.  When he tabled the A 2 the rail had some grumblings about the call, but he had the best hand:

Sharma: A 2           Youngken: K J

Flop: 3 7 8

Turn: J

River: A

Amit does it again, as he has three outs going to the river to win the hand.  Why wouldn't the ace of spades hit the river?  Youngken shook hands and asked where to go to get paid.  He gets paid $12,141 for his finish, while Sharma chips up to over 11,000,000.
