Miller Less Than Impressed

We just caught the tail end of the pot, walking up as the {2-Clubs} {J-Spades} {4-Hearts} flop was already out on board. With about 40,000 already in the pot, Thomas Miller had shoved all in to put Vincent Graziano to the test. Graziano tanked long and hard before making the call, and he was at risk.

Miller showed up {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. "What is that, ace-jack?" Graziano asked. "Nice hand." He turned over his inferior {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}, and the dealer immediately ripped the {K-Clubs} off the deck on fourth street. Miller was less than impressed at the beat he was about to take, and when the blank {3-Hearts} rivered, he spun out of his chair and took a walk around the aisle for a moment. He mumbled a few curt words under his breath in response to apologies from Graziano.

Both men are close to 140,000 chips now. Here are the counts for the rest of that table while we're at it.
