Byron Kaverman had the button, and opened to 1,200. Brian Rast three-bet to 3,200 from the small blind, and the action folded back to Kaverman, who called. The dealer fanned , and Rast checked. Kaverman continued for 3,700, and Rast called.
The turn was the 
, pairing the board, and Rast checked again. Kaverman fired another bullet - this one was worth 7,200 - and Rast called.
The 
completed the board, and Rast checked a third time. Kaverman tanked for thirty second or so, then slid out 13,400. Rast thought for a bit, then asked Kaverman to raise his arms, so he could examine his stack.
"I'm all in," Rast announced, pushing out enough purple T500 chips to make the call, and then two towers of purple chips followed by a tower of yellow T1,000 chips.
Kaverman's eyebrows raised. The bet was about 40,000, and for the better part of the next five minutes, Kaverman tanked, riffling a dozen or so green T25 chips with his hand. Nobody at the table said a word. Eventually, the gentleman in the four seat got up to stretch, and Isaac Haxton, who is in the one seat, did the same. A waiter came by about halfway through the tank, and placed a coffee on Kaverman's side. Haxton, who also ordered the coffee, tipped the gentleman $2 - perhaps he was tipping for two.
"I think I'm nit-rolling," Kaverman said, breaking the silence.
Haxton chuckled briefly, then the silence returned. Finally, Kaverman grabbed all of his yellow chips and dropped them forward. Rast turned over 
for queens full of tens, and to the surprise of everyone, Kaverman tabled 
for sevens full of queens.
"That would've been a sick lay down," Rast told him as he was leaving.
"Hey!" Haxton yelled as Kaverman was halfway towards the exit. "You want your coffee?"
Kaverman shook his head, and was quickly out of the Brasilia Room.
"Hello, best run-out ever," Rast announced.

We missed the exact amounts of the preflop betting, however, the first-to-act player raised and was three-bet by Jon Turner from the small blind. The original raiser called and it was heads-up going to the flop.
The flop came 
and Turner led out for 3,150. His opponent called.
Both players checked the turn, however, after Turner checked again on the river, his opponent fired 8,600 into the middle.
Turner was visibly annoyed and peaked at his cards several times. He finally shook his head and revealed one card - the 
, and mucked his hand.
"Good fold," Turner's opponent said. He mucked without showing.
Turner is down to 24,000.
