"It's coming," the official answered.
"He needs it now," Barakat added.

Both players checked the K♣10♥9♥ flop. Barakat then bet 1,100,000 on the 8♣ turn and Bedell called.

He eventually called and Barakat showed A♣8♥5♥2♣ for the nut flush. "Look at this," Bedell said, tossing A♦Q♣J♠6♦ across the table and into the muck.
