Miller Doubles Through Decalo; Leaves Him With Crumbs
Niv Decalo was on the button and raised to 25,000. Both Kelly Minkin and Bryant Miller called out of the small- and big blinds, respectively to take action three ways to the flop 
. All three players checked.
The turn came 
and Minkin led out for 40,000. Miller called and Decalo followed suit, keeping all three players around for the river 
. Minkin checked and Miller announced he was all in for what totaled 303,000. Decalo immediately dropped in a chip.
"Is that a call?" said Minkin. The dealer confirmed and she sent her cards to the muck. Both players instantly tabled their hands, certain theirs was best.
Bryant Miller: 
Niv Decalo: 
Decalo had beaten Miller into the pot on his river shove after hitting a straight on the river, only to find that Miller's turned full house was best all along. Decalo's stack was counted to pay off Miller and when all was said and done, he was left with just 16,000 behind looking as if he had just been hit by a train.
Meanwhile, Miller now finds himself as the chip leader after the double with nearly 850,000 in his stack.
