Rematch
We have recently learned that just a few days ago, Perica Bukara and Ori Miller were heads-up in a satellite to this very event. Bukara got the best of Miller in that match and will be looking to do the same here.
Increasing the Blinds
You're not mistaken by what you just saw, the level just went up. It hasn't been 75 minutes between levels, but the tournament staff and the players have decided to up the level much quicker this time around. We're not complaining.

Ori Miller raised from the button to 65,000 and Peric Bukara called. The flop came down 
and both players checked to see the

The final community card was dealt the 
and Bukara fired 240,000. Miller made it 600,000 and Bukara went into the tank. He lit up a cigarette and thought while Miller did the same. Eventually, Bukara folded and Miller moved to over two million in chips.

Andrew Feldman Eliminated in 3rd Place ($124,402)
Andrew Feldman's tournament has come to an end and the eliminator of "The Foldinator" or "The Feldinator" was Ori Miller.

though, it was all over.
Feldman finished in third place, taking home just about five times the amount of the buy-in at $124,402. Miller is now heads up with Perica Bukara.
