Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 0 ante
The player in middle position limped, Steve Miller raised to 2,500 in the small blind, the player in the big blind called, and middle position stuck around.
The flop came Q♦J♥A♥ and Miller led out with a big overbet of 30,000, prompting the player in the big blind to go into the tank for several minutes.
The big blind eventually made it 70,000 to go, forcing a fold from the player in middle position. Miller called off his remaining 32,300 to put himself at risk.
Steve Miller: K♥9♥
Big Blind: A♠J♦
Miller had a huge combo draw with outs to the flush and straight. The 8♠ turn was a brick but the 3♥ river gave him the nut flush to double up.

Pat Brunelle ran into the dream scenario, knocking out two of his opponents after having flopped quads.
On a runout of 2♥5♦2♦3♦9♥, all of the money went in by the river in a three-way all in situation.
Brunelle was fortunate enough to come out on top, tabling 2♣2♠ for quad deuces.
He was up against Rick Lehman's 5♣5♠ and Jesus Marquez's 3♣3♥, who both had full houses.
Brunelle now sits with the biggest stack in the room as we approach the dinner break.

Mark Charleton: Q♣9♣
Dan Burcham: K♣K♥
The flop of 6♣10♥6♥ was safe for Burcham but Charleton picked up a flush draw on the 4♣ turn.
The 10♦ river was a blank and the pot was pushed Burcham's way.
