Richard Young, a very wealthy Malaysian businessman, is more accustomed to high stakes cash games in Macau but today he has been showcasing his eccentric style here in the Barcelona Casino Super High Roller tournament. In for his second bullet, Young shows the table that he fears no one is more than capable of mixing it up.

Young opened for the standard 10,000 and faced a raise by the player to his left, Vladimir Troyanovskiy, to 26,000. Young flicked in the call and the two players checked down a board that ran out {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Young had to show first and Troyanovskiy looked slightly irritated to see the {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} giving Young a pair on the river.

The next hand Young again bet 10,000 but this time only found a caller, Paul Newey in the big blind who was also on his second bullet. The flop was {k-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Newey decided to grab the bull by the horns and fire out a bet of 22,000. Young, seemingly unconcerned flicked out the call. {6-Hearts} on the turn and Newey suddenly got wary and checked. Young bet 24,000 and won the pot.
