Mueller Survives Cold Deck

"I have to call," said Greg Mueller after his opponent moved all in preflop on the third raise. Mueller turned over {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and saw that he was up against {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}.

"How cold is this!" Mueller exclaimed. "Two kings against two aces." Mueller's dismay turned to surprised jubilation on a flop of {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {J-Spades}. "Oh my god," he said. "The kid hits a two-outer one time." Mueller's set of kings held with a turn {7-Hearts} and a river {9-Clubs}. He doubled up to 210,000.
