Action picked up on the flop in a three-way pot with about 38,000 in the middle. The board read {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The big blind player checked to Brian Rast in middle position, and Rast bet 22,000 into his two opponents. Only Justin Young made the call from late position.

The turn came the {2-Spades}. Rast bet again, this time 78,000. Young thought for about 20 seconds and made the call.

The river {10-Diamonds} didn't change a lot, now Rast slowed down and checked. Young went for a bet of 175,000. Rast thought for a bit and let his cards go.

Young took the pot, but not before flipping up the {9-Spades}.

"You earned that one with the pots you won before when you had it," said another player at the table.

"Eh, I had the {9-Spades}{10-Spades}. I floated the flop, picked up a flush draw, and didn't know if my hand was good on the river. I'd always show both cards, but I thought it'd be more dramatic to show the {9-Spades}.

Either way, the bet was what took down the pot, regardless of what that other card was.
