Young Not a Believer

The garrulous Jason Young had a decision to make on a recent river. He had called a preflop raise, then bet a queen-high flop {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} after the raiser checked to him. That player called, leading both players to check the {6-Spades} turn. When the river fell {9-Diamonds}, Young's opponent led out for 2,000.

As Young considered what to do, he asked the other player, "Do you have it?" That player responded yes, but apparently Young thought it was a bluff. He called, but couldn't beat {k-Spades}{j-Spades}, the nut straight. Young is down to 28,000.
