Milliron Runs Out of Options

Gregory Milliron was all in preflop for right around 540,000 and in bad shape against Jacob Balsiger.

Showdown

Milliron{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Balsiger{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

"Hearts," Milliron pleaded in the hopes of increasing his outs. The dealer did not oblige with a single one on the {2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. "Five and three," Milliron tried referencing a runner-runner straight possibility. Again, his request fell on deaf ears as the dealer burned and turned the {A-Diamonds}.

That meant Milliron needed a six on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {Q-Hearts}, a blank that spelled the end for Milliron.
