Dao Gets Rings, but Drops a Pot

Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
Miller Dao fired 5,150 on the board of and his opponent made the call to see the
fall on the river. Dao couldn't fired this time and checked. His opponent checked behind. Dao mucked after his opponent tabled the
for queens and nines, dropping back to 33,500.
Dao took ninth place in the WSOP Circuit Regional Championship in Rincon for $24,235. That final table earned him a spot in the National Championship at the end of the season, but Dao wasn't about to sit back. He just took down the $1,090 No-Limit Hold'em ring event here at Caesars yesterday for a cool $55,202.
