Mueller Steaming

Greg "FBT" Mueller bets out 550 with pocket sevens and is raised by an all-in player. The dealer announces the all-in amount as 1650 and Mueller calls.

The all-in player has pocket tens, the board does not improve either player and the tens hold up. At the end of the hand, the dealer cuts down the all-in player's chips and realises that the all-in bet was actually 2650. Mueller calls for the floor, claiming he never would have called for an extra 2000 with his hand.

The floor comes over and Mueller pleads his case. The floor rules that, in the interest of fairness, the 1650 has to stay in the pot but Greg does not have to put in the extra 1000.

Ivey Loses Half His Stack

After the turn, with a board reading {J-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}, Phil Ivey bets out 1700 and is raised to 8275 by an all in player.

He calls and opens pocket tens for a flopped set, but his opponent has Ace King for the nut straight. The river does not repeat and Ivey is down to 7000 in chips.
