Greg Mueller - Winner Of Event #50Greg 'FBT' Mueller Wins Event #50: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout! ($194,854)
So at the end it came down to two limit champions from this year, Marc Naalden, only the second ever Dutch Bracelet winner and Greg Mueller, who won the Championship $10,000 Limit event.
Both players were early chip leaders and the heads up battle swung both ways with Naalden having whittled Mueller down to about 1,000,000 at one point.
But despite a loud and vociferous Dutch rail, Mueller redoubled his efforts and managed to recover to claim his second bracelet of the series.
Congratulations to Greg Mueller, double bracelet winner and winner of Event #50! -
