Mueller Busted

Josh_Cahlik

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 300 ante

We arrived at the table to find Greg Mueller all in and at risk before the draw against Jeff Lisandro. Lisandro stood pat with his hand and Mueller opted to draw one.

Lisandro:
Mueller:

Mueller was drawing live with his last card and needed to catch a deuce, trey, six, or eight to stay alive. He squeezed his card out slowly.

"No-across!" said Mueller. "No-across heart!"

He continued to squeeze until a wave of disappointment washed over his face. He flung the on the table, pairing his deuce and sending him to the rail.

"How is that not a three?" he lamented as he gathered his belongings.

Lisandro was able to score the elimination and boost his stack up to about 58,000.
