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.

Dan Burcham opened the action with a raise in the hijack and was three-bet by Mark Charleton in the cutoff.
It folded back around to Burcham who four-bet all in to put Charleton at risk, who had nearly the same stack size. Charleton made the call.
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.
