Brett Feder: 
Steven Ruighaver: 
Feder had flopped a set of threes, leaving the

Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
After Steven Rash raised to 3,500 in the cutoff, he was three-bet to 11,000 by Maxwell Young in the small blind. Rash called, leaving himself just 13,000 behind.
On the 
flop, Young checked, Rash put in the last 13,000, and Young called to put Rash at risk.
Steven Rash: 
Maxwell Young: 
Young's top pair was ahead of Rash's gutshot straight draw.
The 
on the turn made things interesting, giving Young two pair, but Rash now had an open-ender.
However, the 
on the river filled up Young and sent Rash to the rail.
