William Wilkinson had Jeffrey Miller, and Stephen Roselius covered when all three players were all in for a pot worth 1.7 million.

William Wilkinson: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Stephen Roselius: {a-}{q-Clubs}
Jeffrey Miller: {10-}{10-}

The flop and turn came down all low cards, and Miller was set for a triple up, but when the river was revealed to be an ace, Wilkinson won both the main and side pots to send both players to the rail and become the new chip leader in the process.
