We passed by Eric Miotto's table in time to see the dealer counting out his 674,000 stack, as he had just doubled through Phousith Norsavanh.

The final board read {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Miotto had the {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} displayed in front of his soon to be doubled stack.

According to Miotto, he had open-shoved for his last 22.4 big blinds holding his "all-time favorite hand in Hold'em."

Norsavanh had snapped the bet off with his {Q-}{q-} to find himself dodging kings, but a cowboy on the flop shot his hopes down.
