Costner Bets Big

Gabe Costner was heads up on a {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} board with about 10,000 already in the middle. His opponent bet 4,500, and Costner called. The turn was the {6-Hearts}, and the first player checked. Costner overbet the pot, sliding out 35,000. His opponent called the substantial bet, then checked the {5-Spades} river. The card put a possible flush out there to go with the straight, and Costner opted to check behind with {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for two pair. His opponent showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, but top pair was no good, and Costner jumped to 283,000.
