Mueller Gets Revenge, Cracks Huynh's Aces to Double Up

Tyler Boyer

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to Brandon Mueller in middle position who raised all in for 161,000, and was called by Kenny Huynh in middle position to put Mueller at risk.

Brandon Mueller: J♦8♦ All in
Kenny Huynh: A♦A♣

Mueller ran right into the aces of Huynh and would need a lot of help to stay in the tournament. But after the K♦8♥K♠ flop, Mueller did have outs with another eight. Mueller asked for the eight on 7♠ turn, and said "thank you" after the 8♠ hit the river, to give Mueller a full house, eights full of kings to double up and crack the aces of Huynh.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action folded to Kenny Huynh in early position, and he raised all in for 39,000. Ryan Weber made the call in middle position, and after it folded around, it was the two players heads up with Huynh at risk.

Kenny Huynh: 10♦10♣ All in
Ryan Weber: Q♠J♠

Huynh was ahead with his pocket tens but would have to win the flip to stay alive in the tournament. After the board ran out K♦2♥5♣3♣6♣ the pocket tens of Huynh remained best, to give him the double up.
