Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus had a significant lead over Andy Miller. Miller has been steadily playing his game and when he finally did get short enough to move all in for his final 210,000, Ausmus made the call.

Andy Miller: 3♠4♦ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: K♣6♥

It was quite the dramatic flop that fell, J♣3♣4♣, giving two pair to Miller and a flush draw for Ausmus.

The turn brought the 5♦ giving Ausmus a straight draw to go with his flush draw but the Q♠ awarded the pot to Miller.

That didn't last long though as Miller was seen exiting the tournament shortly after and Ausmus advanced.
