Mueller Slips

Level 3

Omaha 8/B

On a board that read {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}, an opponent led out after the turn into Greg Mueller who raised it up, only to see the opponent called before he check-called Mueller's bet on the river of the {8-Diamonds}. Mueller tabled {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} but the opponent scooped with {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, leaving Mueller with just 3,500 in chips.

The Far Corner

Level 3

"Seat Open, 120!" we just heard the call come. There are a few players who have dropped out here in the first three levels, but many more are coming than going. Returning from break, we find a couple rows of new tables in play, and the number on the board has climbed all the way up to 388 with plenty of time left to sign up. Here's who we've found recently:

Scott Clements
Audley Harrison
Daniel Alaei
Chino Rheem
Terrence Chan
The Brothers Mizrachi -- Michael and Robert
Jean-Robert Bellande
Chris Amaral
Steve Zolotow
Allen Cunningham
Stephen Chidwick
Kevin Calenzo
David Chiu

Robert Mizrachi Makes Good

Level 3

Badugi

Robert Mizrachi raised from under the gun and found one caller from the UTG +1 position before the first draw. Mizrach drew one and the opponent drew two before Mizrachi opened the betting. The opponent raised and Mizrachi called before drawing one. The opponent stood pat and bet after Mizrachi checked to him, but Mizrachi quickly check-raised.

The opponent called and both players elected to stand pat before Mizrachi bet after the final draw. The opponent called, only to muck his hand after Mizrachi showed an {A-}{3-}{6-}{7-} badugi.

Chen Strung Along

Level 3

Razz

Bill Chen completed with a {6-} up, and Brian Powell three-bet with a {3-}. Chen called, and off they went.

Chen: (x-x) / {6-}{2-}{a-}{k-} / (x)
Powell: (x-x) / {3-}{8-}{j-}{6-} / (x)

Chen checked on fourth, then called a bet. On fifth, he took the lead with a bet of his own, and Powell made the quick call. The lead changed hands again on sixth, and Powell led back out. Chen called, and he faced one more bet on seventh. This time, he could not call, though, studying carefully for about a minute before surrendering.

Chen is down to about 9,800 now, while Powell climbs to about 13,500.

Cunningham Cut Back

Stud

Allen Cunningham: {x-}{x-} / {2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Hearts} / {x-}{x-}
Opponent: {4-Spades}{3-Spades} / {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / {2-Spades}

Cunningham brought-in and the action folded to an opponent who raised; Cunningham reraised and the opponent called before check-calling Cunningham's bet on fourth street and fifth street. The opponent then opened on sixth street, but Cunningham raised again and the opponent called before leading out on the river.

Cunningham raised and the opponent called with his flush, which was good enough to take the pot down.
