Miller Gets Rivered
Level 43
: Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Salvatore Dicarlo opened to 8,000,000 from the button, holding 10♠7♠ and Matthew Miller defended his big blind with Q♥9♦.
Both players caught a piece on the 8♥9♣4♣ flop, and Miller checked his top pair over. Dicarlo continued for 7,000,000 with his open-ender, and Miller stuck around. He then hit trips on the 9♠ turn, and opted to check once again. Dicarlo checked back, before getting there on the J♦ river.
Miller checked for a third time, and Dicarlo threw 23,000,000 into the middle. Miller snapped it off, and saw the bad news as Dicarlo announced "straight," clawing his way back to the 300,000,000 mark, good for more than half of the chips in play.
