Mueller Busts in Big Pot Against Julia

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12

No-Limit Hold'em

In a preflop three-bet hand, a massive pot emerged to the river on which table chip leader Nicholas Julia moved forward a wall of chips for more than 160,000. Greg Mueller had around 130,000 behind and was in the tank. He eventually called it off as Julia announced the nuts and tabled .

Mueller exposed for a flush with the ten and was eliminated. He wished everyone good luck, bumped fists and headed out of the tournament area. Julia appears to be the current chip leader by a wide margin towards the end of the second level on Day 2.
