Miller Meltdown

60,000 chips clear of the field at the start of Level 13, Ed Miller has been on the wrong end of three big pots in the last 25 minutes, the latest taking a huge portion of his stack.

Miller flopped top two pair with KJ on a K8J board, but Mark Johnson was open-ended with 9T. Miller knew he was in trouble, said "here goes the meltdown," and moved all in on the turn when the 7 peeled off.
Johnson made the call and Miller asked "You have the straight?"
Sure enough, the 7 gave Johnson the straight, leaving Miller drawing to 4 outs.
The river was a T and Johnson moved up to more than 200,000 in chips, leaving Miller now with 58,000
