Will Mueller Finally Make It?

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Keith Mueller
Keith Mueller

Popular Seneca Niagara grinder Keith Mueller has fired away on previous starting flights in this event, including building a big stack late into last night's flight before running bad to bust.

He's back at it today, has it up over 50,000 again, and is hoping to find himself on the right side of variance this time around as the blinds increase.

Kiehl Runs Good...Sometimes

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Bob Kiehl
Bob Kiehl

Maniac Bob Kiehl had kings cracked and queens beaten by quad fours before deciding premium starting hands might not be the path to riches in this event.

Instead, he chose {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to pick up a flush draw, get it in against a better one and river a straight to drag a massive pot, becoming the first player past the 100,000-chip mark and the flight's current chip leader.

Szczodrowski passed and Stempien showed {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, miles ahead of his opponent's {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Queens held on a {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades} board.
