Metro explained how it all went down:

Going in to the river (last card), he only had a few options available to him to win the $1,000.000 top prize.

One of those was an ace but not the ace of spades  – which would have seen his opponent Ben Keeline take victory with a flush.

However, this was something his friends didn’t realise.

It was Ben Keeline turns $1130 into $1 million with his Colossus II victory.
