Ori Miller is s 31-year old professional poker player hailing from Tel-Aviv in Israel. Miller has close to $400,000 in live tournament earnings, but this is the first time he has cashed in a World Poker Tour event.

Miller has cashed nine times in events held in the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel & Casino, which probably accounts for the fact that he seems so relaxed at the table. His largest cash to date came in Aug 2010 when he finished runner-up to Perica Bukara in a $25,750 NLHE High Roller in this very venue.

Miller will start the final table third in chips after eliminating the Italian Antonio Buonanno KK v JJ for a pot worth in excess of 2m. Miller taking the ultimate revenge on Buonanno after the former EPT Grand Final champ flopped quad aces, in a four-bet pot, holding ace-jack, when Miller was holding pocket kings.

Miller has been playing poker professionally for seven years, notes that PLO is his favorite game, and he has recently tied the knot with his beloved.
