Thomas Muehloecker has been putting his large stack to good use on the money bubble, forcing his opponents to make tough decisions that could see them crash out of the tournament with nothing to show for their efforts.
A player in middle position opened to 23,000 and action folded to Muehloecker in the small blind. He opted to three-bet to 70,000 and the big blind got out of the way to send the action back to the initial raiser. The middle position player took a long time mulling over his options, perhaps stalling or faced with a real decision, but did eventually release his hand to send even more chips Muehloecker's way.
