Miller's Back-Jam Backfires
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Maksim Petrov had opened from early position, and Steven Miller had flat-called in the adjacent seat when Patrick Eagers made it 150,000 to go on the button.
Petrov tossed in a call before Miller moved in for 620,000. Eagers asked for a count before eventually mucking his cards, after which a quick call followed from Petrov.
Steven Miller: 9♥9♣ 
Maksim Petrov: J♥J♣
Both players made a flush on the 7♣A♣4♣6♦K♣ runout, but Petrov's jacks gave him the higher one to eliminate Miller in the penultimate level of Day 2.
