Miller Time

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Nicholas Blumenthal opened to 3,200 from early position, Faraz Jaka re-raised to 8,800 on his direct left, and Miller Dao moved all in for around 30,000 from the blinds. Blumenthal immediately called with around 20,000 behind, and Jaka mucked.

Blumenthal: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Dao: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

"Come on," Blumenthal lamented. "Yack!"

He did not find a "yack" on the {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board however, and the man who sits 15th on the 2011 World Series of Poker Player of the Year list was eliminated just short of the money, and some extra points.
