Alexander Crawford, Gary Miller, and Qing Feng Zheng went to a flop of 10♦8♠J♣ where Miller bet 1,800 from the big blind. Crawford called in the hijack before Zheng raised to 7,500 in the cutoff.

Miller called, then Crawford moved all in for 30,800. Zheng tanked for several minutes before mucking, but Miller snap-called for his last 25,000.

Gary Miller: K♠Q♣
Alexander Crawford: 10♥10♣

Crawford had a set of tens, while Miller was chasing a straight draw. The turn came the 8♣ and Crawford improved to a full house, leaving Miller drawing dead heading to the 8♥ river and heading off to reenter.

"If he doesn't call, do you go all in," Zheng asked Crawford after the hand.

"I don't know. I might slowplay it," Crawford replied.
