Why does assigning a Task then awaiting it allow to run in parallel

Question

I\'ve was playing around with async and I\'ve happened across some behaviour I\'ve not noticed before, if this is a duplicate please let me know, but my google-fu has failed me,

See comments in line

async Task<Object> Bar()
{
    var one =    Foo(3000); // <-- It can Start
    var two =    Foo(5000); // <-- It can Start
    var three =  Foo(3000); // <-- It can Start

    var x =
        new
        {
            One =   await one,  // <-- you are waiting for it to finish
            Two =   await two,  // <-- you are waiting for it to finish
            Three = await three,// <-- you are waiting for it to finish
        };      
        
    return x;
}

async Task<Object> Bar()
{
    var one =   await Foo(3000); // <-- you are waiting for it to finish
    var two =   await Foo(5000); // <-- you are waiting for it to finish
    var three = await Foo(3000); // <-- you are waiting for it to finish

    var x =
        new
        {
            One =   one,
            Two =   two,
            Three = three,
        };
        
    return x;
}
