Double or Nothing for Calhoun

First in from the hijack seat, Catherine Calhoun moved all in for her remaining 8,800 chips. The cutoff immediately folded, but Andrew Miller wasn't so quick about it on the button. He stared up Calhoun's chips, now stacked neatly in the middle of the table. He popped one of his earphones out, glanced at his own chips and made the call.

Showdown
Calhoun: {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Miller: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

The flop was clean but dangerous for Calhoun, coming out {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} to add a flush draw to Miller's two overcards. The turn was a blank {10-Hearts} though, and the {3-Hearts} that filled out the board meant a much needed double up for Calhoun. She's back to 20,300, her high point for the tournament.
