Rocco Rolls Over Mueller

Mike Rocco and Greg "FBT" Mueller tangled in a recent four-way hand that saw two other players go all in. Mueller started with buried queens, and was four to a straight flush by fifth street. Rocco started with split threes and an ace, and made aces up on fifth street. The all-in player immediately in front of Mueller, on two successive streets, pulled cards that would have won the hand for Mueller: the {Q-Diamonds}, which would have made trip queens, and the {10-Clubs}, which would have made the straight flush. Instead, Mueller went all the way to the river and never improved on his queens. Rocco took down the pot with two pair.

Both of the all-in players were eliminated. After the hand, Rocco has about 42,000 in chips and Mueller dips to 19,000.
