Proulx Can't Risk it All

[user66118]

Daniel Alaei limped from the button, and Miguel Proulx raised the pot from the small blind. It was 640,000, and Alaei made the call to see a flop.

It came {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} , and both players checked. On the {10-Diamonds} turn, Proulx checked again, and Alaei made a small bet of 300,000. Proulx called. He checked again when the {5-Spades} filled out the board, and Alaei announced all in. Proulx tanked and shook his head and grumbled and sighed, and he eventually folded to save his last 750,000 chips for a better spot.
