Mueller Catches Miracle

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Greg Mueller - sticking around

Greg Mueller was down, way way waaaaaaaay down in chips. After bringing in the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and being called in two spots, Max Pescatori completed with the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

. Mueller then raised all in for 15,000 and was called by all three opponents. They checked all the way to sixth street. There the boards were:

Mueller: (X-X) / {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

Wahlbeck: (X-X) / {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

Ellis: (X-X) / {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

Pescatori: (X-X) / {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

Freddie Ellis bet his board; only Wahlbeck called. They checked the river, prompting Ellis to turn up {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

(a pair of jacks). When Wahlbeck mucked, Mueller showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

and began to squeeze his last card. He needed an ace or a queen, but all of the queens were already dead. He squeezed clean across... and pulled the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

to stay in the tournament.

Mueller now has about 80,000.
