He May Not Be the Author, but ...

The flop is T♥A♦5♠ and Ed Miller calls a 3500 bet from the 2 seat, and the player in the 7 seat 3-bets to 9500, prompting a call from the 2 seat.
Miller, however, 4-bets to put the other players all-in. The 7 seat calls and the other player folds.
Miller shows AK and the shorter stack shows AJ.
The board runs out 4♠6♦ and Miller sweeps the 28,400 chips from the now-busted player.

Miller is not done getting into the action, however, as on the very next hand he's into it with Guy Davidson and Eric Estoque, and we pick up the action on the turn.

Estoque leads out for 7000 on a board of 8♥9♠J♥9♥ and Davidson moves in for 11700. Miller slides out a large stack of green 5000 chips, more than enough to put Estoque - who has 21500 left - all-in.
"Why did you have to do that, Ed," Estoque asks as he agonizes over making the call for his tournament life.
Estoque exposes A♥3♥ as he slowly moves his cards forward, finally tossing them into the muck.
Davidson turns over KJ for 2 pair, but Miller shows he flopped bottom two and turned a full house.
"Thanks for making me waste 7000, Ed," Estoque says, "Nobody else could lay that down, though?

Miller, 2nd place in the 2014 HPT Thunder Valley Main Event, is now up to about 180,000
