Full Blown Elimination for FBT

There will not be a third bracelet for Greg Mueller in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event. He lost a decent chunk of his remaining stack to Nichoel Peppe and then was eliminated shortly thereafter.

In the hand against Peppe, Mueller bet 18,000 on the turn of a {7-Hearts}

board. Peppe called to the {J-Diamonds}

river, a card that Mueller checked. Peppe seized the initiative to bet 25,000, then showed down two pair, jacks and tens {J-Spades}

after Mueller called.

That hand left Mueller with 37,000. A few hands later he was in the big blind. Jeff Norman limped in from the small blind, then snap-called when Mueller pushed all in with {6-Hearts}

from the big blind. Norman showed down the nuts, {A-Hearts}

, then survived a sweat on a board of {5-Hearts}

. Mueller is busto.
