Ace Good for Mueller

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

We arrived at the table on the turn as Greg Mueller bet into two players with the board reading {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. One player folded, but Bill Chen called, and the {3-Diamonds} hit the table on the river. Mueller bet out again, and Chen thought for a few moments before reluctantly pushing forward a call. Mueller tabled {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, for an ace kicker to go with the quad three on the board. Chen mucked his cards, and Mueller raked in the pot.

Rep Porter opened the preflop action with a raise, and JC Tran three-bet. Porter called, and the dealer spread {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for the flop. Porter check-called Tran's bet, then did so again on the {9-Hearts} turn. Both players checked the {j-Clubs} on the river. Porter turned over {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a rivered straight, and Tran mucked.

Porter was up to 25,000 after the hand, and Tran had 9,000 in front of him.

Kings For Akkari

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante
Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari

Mohsin Charania opened with an early position raise only to find Andre Akkari three-bet him from a couple of seats down. It came back around to Charania who called the raise.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{K-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Charania checked. Akkari continued out and Charania called to see fourth street. The dealer rapped the table and produced the {7-Hearts}. Charania checked again and Akkari fired out. Charania called and the {9-Clubs} finished off the board. The action went check, bet, call once more and Akkari showed {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for a flopped set of kings. Charania mucked his hand and Akkari dragged in the pot. The 2011 WSOP bracelet winner is now sitting on about 41,000 in chips.

Monnette Busts

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante
John Monnette
John Monnette

John Monne raised preflop, and everyone folded except Faith Klimczak, who defended her big blind. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and Klimczak checked. Monnette bet, and Klimczak called to see the {5-Spades} fall on the turn. Monnette again bet, this time for his last 700. Klimczak called, putting Monnette at risk, and the players turned up their cards:

Monnette: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Klimczak: {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Monnette had the lead with his top pair, but Klimczak had a lot of outs with bottom pair and a flush draw. The river was the {q-Diamonds}, giving Klimczak her flush and eliminating Monnette from the tournament.

Mueller Makes a Set

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

Greg Mueller, who late-registered and recently took his seat at a new table, is already thriving in this tournament. We arrived at the table to hear the dealer say "Three bets" in a hand between Mueller and Eric Froehlich on a flop of {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Beyond that unknown action, we found the two heads up to the {10-Spades} on the turn. Mueller checked and Froehlich fired out. Mueller immediately clicked it back and Froehlich flat called.

Mueller fired one last bet after the {K-Diamonds} river and Froehlich called. Mueller showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a set of treys and Froehlich mucked his cards. Mueller dragged in the pot and is now sitting around about 22,000.
