And the wait proved to be worth it as they did not disappoint.

Muehloecker Blazing Through Two Opponents
Level 10
: 1,400/2,800, 350 ante
Thomas Muehloecker is sitting pretty at 420k after dispatching both Benjamin Chalot and Joao Vieira in short succession. In the first hand, Muehloecker got 
preflop all in against Chalot's and flopped a queen to make things a formality.
Next, he got rid of Vieira by once again picking up a pair of queens and holding against Vieira's ace-jack. Chalot hasn't reentered yet, while Vieira went for a third bullet.
