T.K. Miles raised under the gun to 2,000, Jeff Blenkarn called from the hijack, and the player in the cutoff raised to 7,500. Miles called, and Blenkarn folded.

The flop came QdQs2s, Miles checked, the cutoff bet 5,500, and Miles called.

The turn card double-paired the board with the 2h, and both players checked. The river card was the 7d, and they checked again.

Miles showed JhJc to win the pot with two pair, queens and jacks, and the cutoff mucked.

T.K. Miles  –  130,000  (163 bb)
