Sweet Fold by Mueller; Full House for Le

Level 12
Greg Mueller
Greg Mueller

Stud 8

We just arrived on the scene when the dealer announced "Four bets," as Tuan Le threw a bunch of chips forward. Both Greg Mueller and Doyle Brunson called this raise and three players went to fourth street.

On fourth street Le hit a pair up and bet, Mueller showed his cards to the players on his left and right before swiftly throwing them into the muck. Brunson made the call. On fifth street Le bet again and Brunson called.

Mueller: {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} / {Q-Spades}{7-Spades} - fold
Brunson: (X-X) / {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / (X)
Le: (X-X) / {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} / (X)

Both players checked on sixth and seventh and Le showed {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a full house.

"Well, I'm glad I didn't fill up," Brunson said with a big smile as he mucked his cards and lost the minimum. Mueller was pleased with his fold on fourth street and added that the four bets that went in on third street had him worried.

"I thought that's what you had," Mueller said when Le showed the aces that allowed him to drag in this pot.

Suchanek Falls to Benyamine

Level 12

Limit Hold'em

We found Jan Suchanek all in and at risk before the flop for his last 4,400 against David Benyamine. Suchanek tabled {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and looked to improve against Benyamine's {A-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, pairing Benyamine's ace and giving Suchanek a sliver of hope with a gutshot straight draw. Fourth street was the {3-Clubs}, meaning Suchanek needed to catch a jack on the river to stay alive. Unfortunately for Suchanek, the river was the {9-Clubs} and he was eliminated from play. Benyamine picked up the pot and now has 136,000 in chips just before the break.

Watson Scoops Nguyen

Level 12

Stud 8

Nguyen: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} / {x-}
Watson: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {x-}

We picked up with the action on fifth street to see Mike Watson lead out with a bet and Don Nguyen come over the top with a raise. Watson called. Nguyen pulled a king on sixth street while Watson picked up a deuce. Watson checked and Nguyen knuckled the table back. The players took a look at their final cards and Watson tossed out one final bet. Nguyen called, but mucked his hand after seeing Watson's {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a straight and the scoop.

Watson is now sitting on about 135,000 in chips while Nguyen was crippled to just 5,000. He's since been eliminated from play.

Barbaro Flushes Matusow

Level 12

Stud

Barbaro: {x-}{x-} / {A-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} / {x-}
Matusow: {x-}{x-} / {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / {x-}

Yehuda Buchalter was the bring in and it folded around to Francesco Barbaro who completed. Mike Matusow called from the next seat over and it folded back to Buchalter who folded as well.

On fourth street, Barbaro continued his aggression with a bet and Matusow called. The same action occurred on fifth, sixth, and seventh street with Barbaro leading and Matusow calling. At the showdown, Barbaro rolled over {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a heart flush, prompting Matusow to muck his cards.

Barbaro picked up the pot and now has about 145,000 in chips. Matusow, on the other hand, has dropped to 60,000.

Heimiller Takes One

Level 12

Omaha 8

Dan Heimiller, straight off of his victory in Event #17: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship, is right back to the felt and looking to build his stack in today's event. When we found Heimiller, he called an under-the-gun open from Daniel Negreanu. Action folded around to Cory Zeidman and he tossed out a call as well.

The trio took a flop of {J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Hearts} and there were two checks over to Heimiller. He led out, Zeidman called, and Negreanu folded. Fourth street brought down the {8-Diamonds} and Zeidman checked for a second time. Heimiller bet out again and once again received a call. The {5-Clubs} completed the board and Zeidman check-called one final bet.

Heimiller showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for queens full of eights. Zeidman mucked his hand and Heimiller was pushed the pot. The winner of the largest Seniors Championship in WSOP history is now sitting on about 36,000 in chips.
