Massive Double Up For Muehloecker

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Thomas Muehloecker
Thomas Muehloecker

Kevin MacPhee raised to 27,000 and Calvin Anderson three-bet to 68,000 from the small blind before Thomas Muehloecker made it 135,000 from the big blind. MacPhee folded and Anderson moved all in, after which Muehloecker called all in for a little over half a million chips.

Anderson showed pocket jacks, and those couldn't beat the Austrian pro's aces.

Three Busts and Tons of Action

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Pierre Neuville opened to 26,000 and Michael Wasserman pushed in for 260,000. Tobias Ziegler shoved for more to isolate, and Neuville folded.

It was Wasserman's {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flipping with Ziegler's [{j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Ziegler flopped him all but dead when the {8-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop was revealed. The {a-Spades} turn and {9-Spades} river finished Wasserman off.

In the meantime, Pavel Veksler got it in with the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} versus Calvin Anderson's {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Big slick won this won sending Veksler to the rail after a {3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} run out.

Plus, fan favorite Randal Flowers ran eights into {a-}{4-} with little in the way of fold equity and an ace did him in as well.

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

EPT champion Michael Tureniec just raised to 23,000 and Michael Sites three-bet to 65,000 from the button. Tureniec moved all in and Sites called it off for about 480,000 total to create a huge preflop all in confrontation.

Tureniec: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Sites: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and Sites was knocked out, shooting Tureniec up the counts and on to 1,000,000 chips.
