My inclination is to suspect that the underbidder here probably decided to stop when it hit $1M. Then decided "what the hell, I can stretch a little more", and bid again. A little later, made the same decision, and all of a sudden it's up to $1.3M, at which point the underbidder decided they were done.
You might be surprised where Peter's head is
