Muehloecker's Set Holds Up

Level 6 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a board reading {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Tobias Ziegler was the first to take a shot at the pot with a bet of 28,000. Thomas Muehloecker raised to 81,000 in position and the action was on Stephen Chidwick. He chose to check-raise to 175,000 which quickly got Ziegler out of the pot. Muehloecker, however, shipped all in for 197,000 and Chidwick instantly called.

Thomas Muehloecker: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Muehloecker held a set of fours but Chidwick was certainly drawing live with a straight and flush draw. The {8-Clubs} on the river only gave Chidwick a pair and Muehloecker was awarded with the double-up.
