Miller Sent Packing
Arieori Miller was the first to act and raised to 230,000, leaving only 50,000 in chips behind. It folded to Fabiano Kovalski, who chose to call from the button. Upeshka De Silva in the small blind, and Adrian Lopez in the big blind came along to create a four-way pot as they headed to a flop.
De Silva, Lopez, and Miller checked the 3♠4♥J♥ flop. Kovalski opted to bet 200,000, which led to folds from De Silva and Lopez. Miller put in his final 50,000 to go to a showdown at risk.
Arieori Miller: K♦8♠
Fabiano Kovalski: A♣8♥
Kovalski had Miller in a bad spot despite neither player connecting strongly with the flop.
The 6♣ turn was neither here nor there, and the 5♣ river completed the board as Kovalski took down the pot with ace high to eliminate Miller.
