Sanli Can't Crack Boos' Aces as Mueller Hits the Rail
Mario Boos came in for a raise to 3,000 from the hijack. Marco Mueller called on the button, Thomas Sanli called out of the small blind, and Nuri Acar defended his big blind.
Sanli led out for 5,000 on the 4♣9♠6♣ flop, and Acar folded. Boos called before Mueller jammed for about 20,000. Sanli quickly called, and the action was back on Boos. After giving it some thought, Boos back-jammed for 49,800. Sanli didn't hesitate to make the call with the covering stack and the chance to bust two players.
Marco Mueller: 10♣9♣ 
Mario Boos: A♠A♥
Thomas Sanli: 8♣5♣
Boos held pocket aces, Mueller had top pair and a flush draw, while Sanli had a gutshot straight draw with a smaller flush draw.
A 3♥ on the turn was safe for Boos, and so was the Q♦ to complete the board. Mueller was out, and Boos almost tripled up with his pocket rockets.
