Richard Muhlenbruch - Eliminated

In back-to-back hands, Richard Muhlenbruch went from short stack to no stack. Here's how it went down.

In the first hand, Muhlenbruch took a big hit when his {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

came up short against the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

of his opponent. Muhlenbruch pushed from the button with the nines and the small blind called holding sevens. The {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

on the flop had Muhlenbruch second-best come showdown.

The very next hand, Muhlenbruch raised to 1,200 on the button, only to see the small blind come over the top for his whole stack. Muhlenbruch was covered, and he made the call with {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

and was way behind the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

of his opponent. He flopped a {10-?}

{10-?}

but didn't improve from there and was eliminated.
