Miller Sends a Chilling Blow

Bryant Miller opened the action with a raise to 2,500 from middle position and action folded around to the player on the button, who called. The small blind also called, as did Dedric Henderson from the big blind to take postflop action four ways.

The flop dropped and both blinds checked. Miller fired a continuation-bet of 3,000, which was raised to 8,000 by the player on the button. Both blinds folded and Miller thought for a few moments before putting out a T5,000 chip to complete the call.

The turn came and Bryant checked. The player on the button bet another 8,000 and Bryant made the call.

Bryant then checked again on the river and his opponent put out a bet of 23,000. Miller thought for around a minute and then announced a check-raise all in. His opponent seemed disgusted and confused as he processed the situation and the dealer reached forward to the five-seat to cut out Miller's stack for a count as he anticipated him to spend some time making his decision. It was not necessary.

"I call," said Bryant's opponent just before the dealer was about to reach Miller's chips.

Miller tabled for the nuts; a full house, aces full of kings.

"Ace-nine?" asked tablemate Saad Ghanem. He was close - became visible on the table, showing that the player had flopped a set that became the second-best full house when all was said and done. The player barely covered Bryant's stack, earning him a full double to bring him well over 200,000 at the close of Level 10.
