1.2 Million Pot

Greg Brooks raised to 42,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Hans Winzeler on the button and Steven Merrifield in the big blind. Merrifield checked the {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop, prompting Brooks to continuation bet 73,000. Winzeler then woke up with a reraise to 365,000, Merrifield folded, and Brooks three-bet. Winzeler didn't have much left and committed it to the pot.

Winzeler: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Brooks: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Both players had flopped the nut straight, but both had redraws. The {Q-Diamonds} turn filled Winzeler's flush and left Brooks looking either for a jack or eight on the river. The crowd was on its feet as the dealer burned and put out the inconsequential {2-Spades}. Winzeler doubled to over 1.2 million while Brooks was left with just 289,000.
