The Kid Gets Lucky!

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Greg Mueller
Greg Mueller

Greg Mueller was down to just 7,400 lonely chips, and he got them all in before the flop in pretty bad shape. Mueller's {9-Hearts} {9-Spades} ran smack into an opponent's {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}, putting "FBT" five cards from the door.

Not so fast, my friend! The board ran out {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}, and Mueller was spelled from elimination on the final card. "Oh baby!" he celebrated. "The kid gets lucky!"

Lucky it was, and that lucky double moves Mueller back into contention with about half his starting stack -- 15,000 or so.
