Palm Finishes Off Muller
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Aku Joentausta raised to 75,000 in early position and Robin Palm called in the cutoff. Curtis Muller, who had doubled up Vladislavs Petrovs the previous hand and was left with just one chip, tossed it in the middle from the small blind.
Joentausta checked to Palm on the 7♥5♦2♣ flop, then folded to a bet of 110,000 as Palm went heads-up with Muller.
Curtis Muller: A♥7♦3♠3♥ 
Robin Palm: A♠J♥5♠4♦
Muller was ahead with a pair of sevens, while the 3♦ turn gave him a set but improved Palm to a straight. The river was the Q♠ and Muller became the first casualty of the day.
