2008 WSOP Event 17 Winner Jason Young

Between the last two days of play, the competitors spent thirty hours in their seats. For a while it would seem that the winner would be the person whose body could process caffeine with the most efficiency. Would anybody blame someone for trying to make this a fast final table? Casey Coleman started off aggressively, and paid for it. He was like a fly going splat on a windshield. He lost a big hand and half of his stack to Matthew Giannetti in the early goings of the final table. He held on for a little longer, but was eliminated in 10th place. Jason Young got his first victim of the day by eliminating Alex Triner in 9th place.
