6th Place – Tom Milmore
The string of short stacks hitting the rail continued after the elimination of John LoDuca as Tom Milmore could not get the spin he so desperately needed. Bob Piacentino did the deed on Milmore as he did a few others at the final table.
Milmore shoved for 172,000 from the hijack and Piacentino called from the cutoff to put Milmore officially at risk. Piacentino had Milmore crushed with {as}{jh} against Milmore’s {ac}{2h}. The {ah}{8c}{3h} gave Milmore the opportunity to hit a backdoor straight and the {8h} on the turn put some chop outs in play. The {jh} on the river gave Piacentino a higher flush and the pot to send Milmore to the rail.
After his nephew Mike LaTour won yesterday’s “Saturday Series”, Milmore was quite pleased to make another final table run among his family.
