A tense couple of minutes just now over on Table 443. The river had been dealt, with the board showing . About 90,000 sat in the middle, and Dario Sammartino had fired 74,500 from the cutoff seat.
Playing from the button, Lee Markholt took stock of the situation, looking intently in Sammartino's direction as his opponent remained motionless. Finally Markholt folded, and Sammartino exhaled as the chip were slid his way.
Today, Miller is proving that his Seniors run was no fluke by duking it out against competitors that, while only half his age, have likely played millions more hands than he ever will.
We just saw Miller drag another pot his way, with the board reading . Miller's value bet of 40,000 was called on the river, and his for the low straight was good enough for the win.
Miller has survived through a day and half of grueling six-handed action here in Event #32, playing against a star-studded field that included many of the game's elite figures. While Phil Hellmuth and Phil Galfond fell short of the money, and Oivier Busquet and Daniel Negreanu busted shortly after cashing, Miller's still healthy stack puts him squarely in contention to reach his second final table in a single week of WSOP tournament play.
Allen Bari plays the game of poker with a perpetual smirk, suggesting that he knows something the rest of us do not. On a recent hand, Bari parlayed his typical brash table talk into a light call.
After a player opened for 9,000 from under the gun, Bari reraised to 24,000, still engaged in banter with Matthew Waxman regarding Bari's choice to leave Waxman hanging on a fist bump.
The opponent may have thought Bari was simply making a play, because he four-bet all in for his last 45,000 or so, and Bari snap-called with his .
The other player only held and was in bad shape against Bari's fishhooks, and the final run out of left him playing the board.
Jonathan Little opened from under the gun, before Andy Hwang moved all in from the small blind for an additional 55,500 in chips. Little reluctantly made the call, before both players tabled their cards.

Massimo Mosele opened to 8,000 from under the gun, before Inigo Rodrigues raised to 14,000. Erick Lindgren joined the party, opting to raise again to 54,000. Mosele got out of the way, but Rodriguez called, as both players saw the flop come down . Lindgren made a continuation bet of 65,000 which was called, before both players checked the on the turn. The completed the board, and after thinking for a moment, Lindgren slid out a bet of 135,000. Rodriguez also tanked, and made the call, before mucking his hand when Lindgren turned over his .
