Tim Baker

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kyle Miller shoved from middle position for around 65,000 with only Michael Coombs calling from the hijack to put him at risk.

Kyle Miller: Q♣Q♦ All in
Michael Coombs: A♣9♣

Miller found pocket queens with just over six big blinds and just needed to fade an ace or some clubs to double. The board ran out A♠8♠10♥9♦10♦, which was favorable for Coombs' hand, as he improved to top pair. The pot was sent to Coombs and Miller was out.
