Mueller The Candy Man

Greg Mueller
Greg Mueller

We found Greg Mueller in a hand where he offered to buy gum or candy for anyone who wanted it at the table from one of girls selling candy and cigarettes walking around. A couple of people asked for some and after Mueller made the purchase, he said, “That’s expensive gum!”

As for the hand, on the {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, a player in middle position bet 2,200 and Mueller called in the cutoff. On the {9-Clubs} turn, the middle position player bet again, this time for 6,200 and Mueller made the call once more. When the {5-Hearts} hit the river, the player bet one last time for 70,000 which was enough to put Mueller who only had 22,000 left all in. Mueller laid his hand down however and his stack got a bit lighter, as did his wallet from the gum purchase.

Player Chips Progress
22,000 -2,500
