Will Failla raised from the cutoff to 22,000, Blair Miller moved all in from the button for 49,000, and Failla called with 10h4h. Miller turned over AsJc, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Qd9c4sAc5d — Failla paired his four on the flop, but Miller paired his ace on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

Blair Miller  –  118,000  (9 bb)

A short while later, Miller was all in preflop from the small blind in a three-way pot against Nissim Vaknin and Ido Ashkenazi.

Vaknin and Ashkenazi checked the dry side pot all the way down on a board of 8c4d3h5c5c, and Vaknin turned over Ad4h for two pair, fives and fours. Ashkenazi mucked, and so did Miller, who was eliminated in fifth place.

Nissim Vaknin  –  285,000  (23 bb)
Blair Miller  –  Eliminated in 5th Place  ($3,169)
