A Flip for A Quarter of the Chips

Neil Mittelman and Nelson Robinson have just played a massive hand that equals almost a quarter of all the chips in play. It started when Francisco Azares opened the pot to 40,000. Mittelman then three-bet to 95,000 on the button. Robinson was in the big blind and four-bet to 225,000. Azares got out of the way quickly and it was back on Mittelman. It didn't take him long to shove all in. Robinson looked at his opponent's almost 1,000,000-chip stack and snapped him off.

Robinson: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Mittelman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The {j-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} board would see Mittelman win the huge flip, while Robinson takes a massive hit to his stack.
