Miller Deals a Blow to the Chip Leader
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With around 20,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, the player in the lojack checked and Bryan Miller, who earlier in the series finished fifth in the Big Stax 300 for $24,894, did the same from the hijack.
Chip leader Baitai Li then bet 10,000 from the button and only Miller called to see the 
turn.
Both players checked and the 
completed the board on the river.
Miller was first to act and opted to bet 15,000, which Li raised to 40,000. Miller thought for a few beats and then announced all in, which amounted to 90,700 total.
Li looked at him suspiciously but called with his 
for a ten-high straight. Unfortunately for him, it was no good as Miller had the 
for the stone-cold nuts.
