Greg "FBT" Mueller Is Eliminated in 8th Place

Poker can be a cruel game, and this is one of those hands that reminds you of that fact. From the cutoff Mueller raised with {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Ray Spencer called in the small blind with {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Taylor Douglas decided to call from the big blind as well, and they saw a flop of {4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

After Spencer checked Douglas bet 210K. Mueller raised to 420,000, Spencer folded, and Douglas thought over his move. He hasn't been showing his hole cards clearly during some of the broadcast and no one knew exactly what he had as he announced he was all-in. Mueller quickly called with his trips...and Douglas turned over {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for trips with a higher kicker.

Mueller needed help to take the lead or chop the pot, but the {7-Hearts} and {9-Diamonds} on the turn and river weren't enough, and he wins $55,914 for what must be a disappointing 8th place finish.
