Nick Schulman

Ryan Miller raised from the cutoff to 90,000 and received a call from Nick Schulman in the big blind. The flop came {4-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Spades} and Schulman checked to Miller, who made a continuation-bet of 100,000. Schulman called.

The turn was {3-Diamonds} and both players checked. On the {8-Spades} river, Schulman fired 400,000 into the pot. Miller thought for about a minute and tossed in chips to call.

Schulman tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for the nut low with top pair, top kicker and Miller mucked, bringing him below the half-million chip mark.

Drinan Finds a Double

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Ryan Miller saw action folded to him on the button and raised to 60,000. Connor Drinan defended his big blind and then shoved all in for his last 95,000 or so on a flop of {7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Miller called.

Ryan Miller: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Connor Drinan: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The turn and river fell {10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}, giving Miller a set of queens that was unable to top Drinan's king-high straight as he secured the double up and got back over a 10 big-blind stack.
