Miller Victorious In Huge Cooler

Chris Bean

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Two monster stacks clashed and got their chips in the middle. Rory Miller in the hijack and the small blind. Miller was the player at risk for 227,000 chips which was a massive 76 big blinds.

Rory Miller:
Small Blind:

The small blind looked dejected when Miller turned over his cards whilst Miller couldn't contain his excitement.

An ace in the window on a flop meant the small blind needed runner-runner to win the pot. But there was no help for small blind as the board ran and left the small blind with 12,000 chips and Miller coursing with adrenaline.
