We have a new chip leader -- Alex Keating is currently dangerously close to breaking that magic 100,000 mark. He's on exactly 96,000 right now, and very definitely the chip daddy in this tournament.
No back to back Limit Hold'em titles for this Mueller -- the world champion is bust.
He didn't have that many chips coming back today anyway, to be honest, and he dwindled and dwindled until there was nothing left. Still, he's got his first place money and bracelet from the $10,000 event to console himself with.

Oh dear, back to back disasters for Jared O'Dell have sent him fuming off for a little stroll.
Alex Keating opened under the gun and O'Dell and another gentleman on the cutoff both called. Over to Fu Wong in the small blind who reraised; three calls later and they were at the flop.
Wong bet out and O'Dell was the only caller, so they went heads up to the turn. Wong checked and O'Dell bet; call. The river was the and Wong checked again. This time when O'Dell bet, Wong raised. O'Dell called, but mucked when Wong turned over pocket aces for a full house.
Fair enough, that hand put Wong up to 40,000 and knocked former big stack O'Dell down to 52,000. But wait! There's more...
With the betting capped preflop, the short-stacked small blind moved all in on the flop and O'Dell called in mid position. A couple seats down, Alex Kravchenko raised; O'Dell called that too.
O'Dell check-called the continued betting from Kravchenko on the turn and the river before flipping pocket fours for the flopped set that had turned into a lackluster full house by the river -- and Kravchenko tabled for the turned full house and rivered quads. Nice.
Kravchenko's up to a very excellent 70,000 after that. The luckless O'Dell is down to 31,000 and just walked off in an attempt to center himself. Yikes.
