Miller Takes a Tough One

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From early position, Alex Queen opened the action with a raise to 23,000. Thomas Miller had just 127,000 left and moved all in from the hijack. It folded back around to Queen who thought for a bit before making the call to put Miller at risk.

Queen: {6-Spades}{7-Spades}
Miller: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Queen probably couldn't have asked for a better situation as he was in a flipping for the 180,000-chip pot, despite having just seven-high. Right on the flop he hit not one pair but two pair. The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Miller could only look on and wonder What-if?
